Horse Race


I like to pick out a subject to paint and since I'm tired of painting sheep, I've decided to tackle race horses. Since the Del Mar track is close to our home, I have lots of photos to work from. Del Mar doesn't have these wonderful post markers but I've seen a photo of a track that does, so I decided to add them for interest and color. Because the Del Mar track is changing to an artificial surface this season, I'm not sure if this wonderful rich dirt color will become a thing of the past.
Now, I think I'll try another horse race painting.

Very nice but I love all the racing ones you have done.

The new surface will still be brown just a lot darker.
