Everyone Loves a Good Race

A pen and ink portrait of a horse and jockey racing across the field. The horse is "Bravazo" in the Preakness Stakes 2018.

A happy accident: posting about my newest painting of horses and the 2nd of the Triple Crown horse races, the Preakness Stakes 2018, happening this weekend. So, I couldn’t resist illustrating one of the favorites to win, “Bravazo“. His trainer, D. Wayne Lukas, has won with four horses before this. But really, it’s the beautiful, sparkling spirit of this horse that lights me up.

In any case, it’ll be a race to watch and hold our breath on, and sigh when it’s over.

‘Cause everybody loves a good race.

Who do you want to win in the race this weekend?

Watch along as I post the progress of my newest painting, “Wild Horses”, starting here. And carrying on here.
