Shoeing Time
POA
1 in stock
Oil on canvas.
A charming and evocative image of a heavy horse being shoed with her foal. This is a delightful calming image of a bygone era when heavy horses were working horses, used daily and needed to be shod on a regular basis – usually every six weeks. Their hooves need to be trimmed, strengthened and protected. Here one sees a tranquil scene with the blacksmith working on the mare with her foal nearby. Published signed limited edition of 1200 in 1988.

IMPORTANT SHIPPING INFORMATION

David was best loved for his archetypal African scenes portraying dusty waterholes teaming with life, capturing the heat and haze of an African landscape, all of which bring to life the sounds, smells and textures of a continent he called his second home. Beyond wildlife art, David had a prolific painting career which focused on many other topics and subjects. With an equal passion and love for military subjects, steam trains, landscapes and lesser seen portraits, his numerous originals and prints are held by collectors around the world.
