I subscribed to The Thoroughbred of California and The Maryland Horse magazines when I was young. I followed Thoroughbred stallions from Buckpasser to Nijinsky, Secretariat to Frankel.
Horse racing scenes still fill my sketchbooks with the movement and beauty of the classic sport of horse racing. Backstretch Workout is a painting of a young racehorse being schooled on an early morning ride on the backstretch.
