Horse Race ll

OK, here is my next racehorse painting. Horses are painted larger than my last attempt with a simplified background that frames the jockey's helmets and silks. I painted the inside and outside horses separately and unattached to the middle three which made for a very different composition than my last painting. Those two horses have to be painted more carefully because they can't be massed in with others where body conformation can be suggested. I have the feeling that the inside, rail horse, is going to win the race.
