- If a horse could be chiselled directly out of Highland slate, stained with the rich tones of peat and matured whisky, blended with the dusty hues of juniper, and struck by the last ray of sunset—it would almost capture the essence of this enigmatic mare. Sculpted onto the canvas with rich, textured pastel, her coat mirrors the warm, deep bark of an ancient Scots pine; a presence almost too perfect to exist. Yet, she is entirely real. She stands grounded in the physical world, positioned beneath a heavy, brewing grey sky that is beautifully tinged with the promise of expectant yellow sunshine. As an award-winning fine artist (BA Hons) with 24 years on this Caithness land, I wanted this piece to feel as if the horse was birthed straight from the geology and spirit of the North, waiting under a classic, shifting Highland sky.Poly-cotton blend canvas with a matte/satin finish. Scratch, crack, and warp resistant.
- Vibrant, long-lasting colors with water-based HP Latex inks and UV protection.

About the Artist
Rebecca Winkle is an award‑winning animal portrait artist with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art and a lifelong devotion to drawing that began at age five. Her work is rooted in the ancient landscapes of Caithness, where she has lived for 24 years, raising five children and sharing life with horses, cows, buffaloes, goats, sheep, chickens, geese, ducks, ponies — and the ever‑present cats who wander through her studio.
Her portraits are shaped by the sweeping northern skies, the quiet strength of trees, the softness of roses, and the wildlife that gathers around the Loch of Mey beside the family’s forest garden. Rebecca’s art is lifelike, dramatic, colourful and full of energy, capturing not only the animals she knows so well but the spirit of the land that surrounds her.
Each piece carries a spark of home — the croft, the creatures, the landscape, and the love that has shaped her life and her art.
