Racehorses are a subject I return to again and again. I find the combination of beauty and power just wonderful and always have since first going to the races at Kempton Park in my late teens. The first image I put into print was a picture called Winning in about 2005. It was by no means my first horse picture but I felt I had finally captured the feeling I was after. 
The only other horse image I have put into print is Racing Green which now coming to the end of its edition - just a few left. Both pictures include the rails which, along with other formal elements of the course – starting gates, stands and furlong markers – act as a foil to the primal power of the horses. 
Following a commission for a new racehorse painting, I’ve recently begun looking for new ideas for racing pictures. Here’s recent study.

Love your racehorse pics - combines my two favourite things, horses and art! I willnever forget doing a run through the mist near Ilkley/Keighley and barely seeing the racehorses emerging through the mist - v atmospheric! Must put one of your prints on my birthday list! Leave a Reply. |
