Today's Equine Art - Seabiscuit
I confess I didn't know much about Seabiscuit before Laura Hillenbrand's book came out. When I started reading, I couldn't put it down. I was completely taken up in this wonderful story. When the movie came out, I saw it in the theatre no less than six times! I chose to do this portrait in sepia tones, to reflect on the time in history that Seabiscuit raced.
This is watercolor, 11 x 15", listed on eBay.
I love it Nancy, especially your choice of sepia. Perfect for the subject!
