The Horses of Dapplegrey Art

dizzojayWhen I first set out to show my art professionally seven years ago, I originally intended to stick to my first art love, horses (and horse derivatives) and be more of an equestrian artist than a general animal artist so I chose a name that reflected this.
I soon came to realise that this was too narrow a range for me to be able to make a viable living, and I was often asked about dog and cat portraits which I didn't want to turn down, so I decided to diversify and become more of a generalist, and thus the dapplegrey art that you all know was born.
However, people were starting to know the name dapplegrey art and look for me at shows, and as I liked the name anyway, I saw no reason to change it.
Despite that, you've probably noticed that I still have more horses in my portfolio than anything else; so here's a little collection to celebrate dapplegrey's origins ...

I will get around to doing another one one day, and spend much more time on it!
