John Fitzgerald Painter of Horses & Sculptor

Equine artist exploring quiet strength, movement, and symbolism through painting & sculpture.
Dream it. Do it.

This commission has been such a special piece to work on, and I’m so excited to finally share the finished painting.
And to the owners for trusting me, thank you.

Ladies Day at Royal Ascot.
This painting was inspired by a visit a few years ago, when the afternoon sun cast long shadows across the Royal enclosure and the elegance of the occasion seemed to drift effortlessly through the crowd.

Study of stallion.
This is a prep piece for the larger one I will be doing, so working on colour, tonal values and likeness.

“The race was only minutes long,
but this moment feels endless”

Study in oils of horse and jockey, a scene I have sketched more times than I can remember.
