'Mid Swing' oil and acrylic on linen canvas, framed tray style in white wood, 25" x 19" ( 64 cm x 48 cm).
Richard Thackham’sMid Swing catches the exact heartbeat of polo at full tilt. The rider is twisted into that decisive, athletic arc of the mallet swing, while the horse drives forward with coiled strength and urgency. Thackham’s energetic brushwork and bold contrasts make the moment feel raw and immediate, as if the whole scene is vibrating with speed, focus and competitive fire.
