Vivian Edwards: “Jumping horses isn’t something I do every day, but I remember the rush of leaping over a gate or log when I was a young equestrian. There’s something magical in those moments of flight, where heart and instinct meet skill. Through these leaps, I discovered what challenges me and what brings that deep joy. This painting captures the harmony of horse and rider, a fluid dance in midair, both perfectly in sync, embracing the thrill together. It’s a beautiful partnership that I admire deeply.”
