Fans of my work will remember that about this time last year, I was FINALLY able to share the honor of being chosen as the 2015 Kentucky Derby artist (the painting was created in secret last summer-fall). It was such a crazy thing to be offered the job, out of the blue - a perfect validation of the years spent creating and my horseless-yet-horse-crazy-racehorse-studded childhood.
And then, last Saturday, American Pharoah showed the world what a superhorse looked like. Horse racing had a glorious day at Keeneland Race Track, capped off by a lone horse running easily ahead of the best in the world, ears up, having the time of his life.
I pieced this painting together from photos I took myself at various tracks, and every brushmark I made was filled with enormous gratitude. I couldn't have imagined a better fairy tale ending.
I am creating a series of small paintings similar to this one, all racing scenes, that will be heading to Spa Fine Art in Saratoga Springs, New York, in time for holiday gift giving. Please let me know if you are interested in having first dibs on these works.
Thanks, as always, for following along with my artwork,
Warmly, Kim
