medieval knights jousting on horses historic art trivet

This is one of my favourite paintings, it's titled "The Four Knights of The Forest Festival." I painted it from a photograph that I took when I was at the Forest Festival on Chingford Plains in the UK. The festival is on every year and it celebrates all things to do with the historic Epping Forest. On two of the years that we attended we were lucky enough to see the re-enactment of a traditional joust between four knights, each knight was representing his "kingdom." I captured the photograph as the knights were parading around the jousting area and I couldn`t wait to paint it. The Black Knight went on to achieve a glorious victory over the other three knights. I think this original realist English jousting image looks great as a trivate and will be a great gift for someone special or maybe you just want this bit of original art as a treat for yourself. The original artwork is worked in soft pastel.
