“CIRCLE OF KINGS” by JOYCE
30″x36″ oil
“CIRCLE OF KINGS” The exciting worlds of art and horseracing converge in the paddock at HOLLYWOOD PARK. These two worlds intertwine in the challenge of a job well done!
The procession of athletically trim Thoroughbreds, ridden by finely honed jockeys, circles the paddock in anticipation of a win! Standing in the paddock I ponder as to how best translate this colorful drama into paint!
Owner’s proud silks, trainers many hours of expertise and hard work, and jockeys’ skills to bring the best out in their mounts, are in the balance. Everyone in the “CIRCLE OF KINGS,” is united in hopefulness – to cross the wire first and grab the shinny golden ring – to paint a painting that conveys this electric spirit.
