Passion for horses<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Australia-based artist Lyn Beaumont loves horses and riding as much as she loves painting. \u201cThe reason I paint horses is simply because I love them.\u00a0 <\/span>I own six \u2013 one of which is an Arabian breed \u2013 and ride daily. \u00a0The love of horses inspires me and I see differences in every face when I paint,\u201d said Beaumont who is showcasing her work to a keen Middle East audience at Dubai International Horse Fair. <\/span><\/p>\n

Beaumont\u2019s equine portraits have been keenly followed and commissioned with her works hanging in the private residences of British royalty and Australian clubs including the Victoria Racing Club, Moonee Valley<\/span><\/p>\n
