Description: Reproduction artwork is of an egg tempera painting printed on Hahnemühle German Etching paper of Chincoteague ponies on an island in their natural environment

Inspiration: Chincoteague island, home to the famous Chincoteague ponies, is where this work was born. This fleeting moment between mother and offspring is permanently marked. It is rare to see horses in the wild, surviving in a magical ecosystem. The ponies with their shaggy hair and sturdy bodies have lived on the wild island for decades, eating marsh grasses and drinking from fresh water ponds.

Egg Tempera: Egg tempera painting is a historical form of painting dating back to the 1st and 2nd century and uses brilliant pigments from the earth. Because of these fine grainy pigments, the print will show a luminous, colorful grainy quality. Egg tempera paints have a tendency to pool, puddle, and spread in magical ways. Egg tempera paints are translucent, allowing the viewer to witness the full effect of the details in the paint pigment. Enlarged prints will exhibit high quality details of these pigments.
