Lots of energy and movement. Really well drawn horses (not that easy - are they!!) and very determined looking jockeys. I agree with your descision about the background as you want the viewer to concentrate on the figures.

Thea, thank you. Much appreciate your comments. Drawn horses - well, I traced them from the photo in the paper, so that I may stand a chance, as my drawing skills are much like my painting - leaves a lot to be desired. I very much like your style and the looseness that you achieve in your paintings and hopefully, one day, so will I. 'Must try harder' seems to be the phrase I have recall from my school reports. Thanks again Thea.

First attempt at horses and quite pleased altho' several mishaps along the way. Thought I'd keep the background fairly plain. 16x12 on Langton 140lb. From a photo in the paper.
