Description
California Chrome is one of the most impressive Thoroughbreds that I have seen race in quite some time. His owners, trainer and personal stories are even more impressive. I admired the "old school" approach of his trainer and "regular guy" owners. This was the horse that I had hoped would finally win the coveted Triple Crown, but unfortunately was unable to win the last leg at the Belmont Stakes. In a different time with the same horses running all three races, it might have been a different story. It's hard not to choose him to draw with all his flash and "chrome". He is truly a great horse and runs with a lot of heart. I truly do enjoy drawing horses, and this guy is one of my favorites!
I have done many animal portraits over the years and like to work from photos, but it always helps to meet the actual animal to capture his or her true spirit. Feel free to email me if you have an animal you would like to have captured art forever.
This drawing is on a 9"x12" sheet of Bristol 100 lb. bond, the image is approximately 8"x10".
