Tony´s first and foremost artistic passion usually takes equine form, he is also indivisibly drawn to their surrounding landscape. Whilst his sole-horse pieces have a detailed anatomical specificity to them, his landscapes are more evocative of the wild, tempestuous forces of our earth.

I became an artist when I realized exactly how I could express this love that I have for my surroundings. All of the beauty in nature that I saw could be translated with brush, canvas and paint. More importantly, as I have lived in a farming community being squeezed out by urban sprawl I, too, have felt the pressure of redefining my viewpoint through painting.

Being involved in the horse racing industry for over thirty years has provided Sharon Crute the distinctive ability to create dynamic equine paintings expressing powerful movement and speed. Her experience at the racetrack stretches the gamut from hotwalker to racing official.
