The Home Stretch 

Watercolor on Paper

I was inspired to paint The Home Stretch after watching many movies that portray the hard work, dedication, and beauty of Horse Racing.  My goal for The Home Stretch was to capture the beauty and determination of the horses and jockeys, as they race toward the finish line.

Artist Statement: 

My paintings primarily reflect regional splendors that I capture through the viewfinder of my camera. My paintings include picturesque Maritime and Rural scenes discovered on the East Coast (Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina...etc) as well as abroad, Beautiful Animals, Pets and other commissions. My goal is to always capture the true beauty that surrounds us. I especially enjoy painting Watermen and their old workboats as they work their trade.  When I paint pets, horses, and other animals, I focus on their eyes and expressions to capture their personality.  I am inspired by many Art Masters; however, I am primarily inspired by American Artist, Winslow Homer.
