"Jockeying," from The Saratoga Series, 5" x 20", depicting 5 jockeys and their mounts fighting for position, acrylics on museum quality panel, $599 to the first one asking nicely. Inquiries may come to me. Please and thank you.
Remember the hot mess from a couple weeks back? Well, I sweated it through and signed off on it today. Feels darned good, too!
This painting is part of a new body of work celebrating Saratoga Race Courses' 150th Anniversary. This summer I'm ushering in the track's birthday party with a live painting session at Spa Fine Art on Saturday July 27th. I was honored to be invited and those of you who joined me last year know how much fun we had - so mark your calendars. Let's do it again!
There are lots of in process pics on the studio facebook page - you may have to scroll a bit through the Mobile Uploads folder, as progress on this painting stretched out well over a week.
Now I'm off to get a couple sketches going.
Thanks as always for following along with my artwork!

Slop ~~ Kimberly Kelly Santini
"Slop," 7" x 15", depicting a field of Thoroughbred race horses nearing the first turn at Saratoga Race Track, done in acrylics on museum quality panel, $529 to the firstasking nicely. Please works well.
In process pics are on the studio facebook page.
I literally stood in the pouring rain to get this reference photo. I was seriously waterlogged, no exaggeration. We're talking plastered hair, damp undergarments and puddles INSIDE my shoes. And while I am disappointed that the painting does not convey exactly HOW wet the conditions were, I do find other redeeming qualities in the piece.
"Slop" is headed to Spa Fine Art, my gallery in Saratoga, New York, as part of the track's impressive 150th birthday celebration this summer.
Unless you need this painting on your wall Right Now. In which case, email me and I'll make that happen.
Thanks as always for following along with my artwork!

Peek a Boo - Catherin McMillan
Peek A Boo
Been a while since I posted a blog .. will make sure to remedy that this year.. the last couple of months have been what you could call a write off ..
Finished Peek a Boo off this morning I decided to use a different paper from my usual canson pastel paper..
This time around I used art spectrum "colour fix" which is a little like working on smooth sandpaper giving the image a textured look.
Peek a Boo is off to WA for an exhibition unless sold prior...
Thank you Katherine Waddington for the use of your photo ☺
Peek a Boo5" x 7"

JT, Finished ~~ by Kimberly Kelly Santini
"JT," 30" x30", commissioned portrait of a Thoroughbred, done in acrylics on a museum quality cradeled panel, private collection (THANK YOU!).
My apologies for the photo - I've lost my natural lighting and this painting is so large that my studio equipment doesn't light it evenly. I'll shoot a better pic tomorrow.
But isn't he just lovely?
Sigh.
In process images are on the studio's Facebook page, and thank you for looking.
Fondly,
Kim, who's hoping everyone stays battened down in this newest storm. Me? I'm stocked up with chocolate, so all is well!

Ugly .... no such thing
Sandor
41 x 29 cm
pencil on paper.
SOLD
Sheona Hamilton-Grant. All rights reserved.
"My horse is ugly!"
These words were said to me a few years ago after the subject of a portrait came up and they bothered me ... no end.
There is no such thing as an ugly horse.
Every time my pencils get scribbling they prove it, show the world just how erroneous those words were.
Each stroke merging tones, combining strength, proving in black on white the fallacy of this perception.
A beautiful chiselled equine face has a “wow factor” but take one, like Sandor (pictured above) shaped out of honesty, wisdom and kindness the “wow factor” is just as big and lands just that little deeper.
Underneath the muscle and the power is a mind blowing personality and astuteness that is anything but … ugly!
