Joseph Sundwall

Waiting on Brandy, original 24 x 28 figurative equestrian hunt landscape

And they're off! Hungry for victory, with the full knowledge that their life is about to change forever if they could just place! They've taken care to bond with their horse, not wanting to miss any opportunity for glory! The jockeys have lifted off their saddle to unleash the horse's speed, crop in hand always looking for an advantage! Painted by professional portrait artist Joseph Sundwall of New York this equine and figurative impressionist landscape is packed with excitement and elegance, motion and grit!

A year later, moving near Lake Trasimeno, he continued his studies at the Fine Arts Academy in Perugia. Again on the move, he travelled to Pietrasanta near Carrara with some sculptors and stayed on this coast for nearly a year before moving eventually to Grimaldi, just inside Italy – a small medieval village about three hundred yards from the Italian /French frontier close to Monte Carlo. Here he began a series of backstage paintings – at the Opera and Orchestra rehearsals, fashion shows, at the Circus, Jazz and Cabaret – exhibiting regularly along the coast in Monaco, Nice, Cannes and Antibes. In 1984, circumstances changed and it was necessary to return to England – where a chance invitation to the races triggered a whole new series ‘At the Races’ which in time produced a wider series entitled ‘The British Sporting Year’ of Polo, The Henley Regatta, Derby Day, Wimbledon, Bowls, Cricket, Golf – even Jousting at Hever Castle...
