The Breeder's Cup each year produces winners that then enter in the Kentucky Derby. This painting was of John Valesquez riding Ariza -- they both came over the finish line winning by 11 lengths. John raised his crop and hollered "...the next Kentucky Derby winner!" Pure joy to paint this on Gallery...

Following the artworks of Robert Bateman and his detail of animals in realism so many years ago, really determined my style of painting. I wanted my subjects to be just as detailed and realistic; particularly the eyes. Realism to me meant that you knew at once the difference between a Leopard and a Jaguar; subtle to be sure but there IS a difference. Soon I moved to figures, seascapes and my series "The Spirit of the Horse". Since my early teens I have painted with oil on canvas but never had the good fortune to go to Art School. Because this creativity was a need that went beyond mere urge, I was yet another Self-taught Artist. I have been painting for over 50 years with more success in sales than I ever expected.
