Today’s video is part of a series dedicated to Art in the Yards, a collage project in Darlington, which features a free open air exhibition of public art. This episode happens to share some fantastic horse art.
Free Art
This episode looks at three works of art found in the Clarks & Bucktons Yard. The horse theme piece called ‘Clark’s Stables’, was painted by Alex McDonald and is an ambitious rendition of Stubbs-style horses. He used the yard’s own equestrian history as inspiration for his work.

Big Horses
The only thing better than a painting of a horse, is a life-sized painting of a horse – and the only thing better than that, a larger-than-life sized painting. Perhaps George Stubbs knew this better than most, and clearly Mr. McDonald has been paying attention.
