Day 17 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

Filly's Crown of Roses
6 x 6 Watercolor on ClayBord



When I was looking at this underpainting for inspiration I saw horses (I found 3 - can you?).  I also was thinking of how it reminded me of Roses.  It reminded me of the commission piece I did several years ago when Rachel Alexander ran in the Kentucky Derby as the first filly in that event and won it.  I knew about it in advance of the Derby so I watched and photographed the race and the horse.  I decided to pay tribute to this filly today by painting her again.
