This image is part of a series based on my attraction to horse racing, the "sport of kings". The dynamics of the horse race are unique. The strength of horse and rider, the communication between the two, and the sound of hoof beats that is heard all add to the experience in the space of two minutes of time. Placing a two dollar bet increases the excitement. I want the viewer to get a feeling for the energy and motion that takes place during the horse race event. The medium of graphite on paper is immediate and accessible. The style is gestural. At 40 mph, movement is the nature of horse racing.

Artists Statement Michael Kelly My drawing is a spontaneous response to what I see, initiated from reality. It is expressive, not a demonstration of facility. It is not a literal description of surface qualities. It is a search for a internal reality that validates an object’s reason for being. Energy, motion, and color are the key elements in order to achieve a balanced composition. My work is a process of discovery through deconstruction. This process allows me to dignify the presence of the subject that I am working from, rather than to characterize it. I maintain the aspect of the gesture in the approach to my work. This approach allows the drawing to live and to invoke a response. My drawing is usually mixed media, although, not exclusively. The media I choose is dependent on the composition and statement that is being made. I approach my work intuitively. My work is not formulaic. I succeed. I fail. I am the real deal. I have shown in numerous national and international competitions across the country and have been honored with juror's awards, people's choice awards, and first place awards.
