Racing the Big Sandy
Rives Bfk,watercolor pencil, neocolor2, varnish, Cradled wood panel
A few years back while visiting my brother and sister-in -law in New York, we took the train out to Belmont Park to watch the horse race. Although I often draw wild horses, I had never before experienced the energy of a live thoroughbred race. The horses, with their graceful yet powerful bodies, rumbled past the stands in a blur of color as their jockeys urged them on. I took many photographs that day ,and I continue to create drawings inspired by that experience. This piece, “Racing the Big Sandy, refers to the local nickname for Belmont Racetrack, and captures the trillI felt watching the racers thunder past.
I created this drawing using watercolor pencils and Neocolor 2 on Rives Bfk paper adhered to and varnished on a cradled wood panel.
