I think the expression ‘White Horses’ is beautifully poetic. It describes the white foam
that appears as waves break at sea, normally when a gale is blowing off the west coast
of Ireland during the winter months.It’s wild and  bleak, but for all that, there is an elemental force that makes us feel connected to nature in all its power.What do you think?

    A poetic title for a painting full of drama. Lovely.

    This is a painting full of drama which I think this may be due to a strong sense of movement. It feels almost as if the deep blue sea might engulf me! It is really powerful.
