“Personally as an artist, it is fantastic to see my paintings actually ‘make a difference’ to a charity like IHWT. A Winters Tail, was the ideal choice for a Christmas card to help raise some much needed funds to help horses in need this winter,” says O'Connor.
"The inspiration for this painting came from Irish winter mornings, when the frost has left its mark on each blade of grass amidst the serenity of the countryside. The warmth of the horse underneath, the only sounds being the hoof beats on crisp earth, the odd nicker or snort from the horse and the caw of crows from the woods.”
