“I Can See Them, Too” 

One of my favourite scenes in “The Order of the Phoenix” was how JK Rowling introduced the thestrals. The moment when Luna Lovegood said to Harry that she could see the thestrals, too, would have been so reassuring to someone who could not believe what creepy monstrosities they were seeing. The way Luna was so gentle and accepting towards them helped change the way Harry saw these misunderstood creatures. So with this altered painting, I wanted to share her view of thestrals, and imagine them in a world where they are perceived as gentle beasts, who love a good run through the grass and to feel the wind through their wings. 

This alteration is on a vintage print of the painting titled “Wild & Free Horses” by American artist Harland Young (1924 - 2015.) This print was produced c1960, and over the years it has slowly lost its vibrant colour due to sun and environmental damage. I spent some time cleaning, touching up, rewiring, and reinstalling the art in the frame. I decided to keep the original faded colours as it worked well with the ethereal feel of the thestrals. 

Frame details : Brass, reclaimed frame, good condition. Non-reflective glass. Some of the metal plating is chipping, but it adds to the vintage charm (the original painting also has chips in its frame.) Table display.
