"Now and again, a horse
truly captures the imagination and Bosra Sham was such a horse. She was
quite simply one of the most beautiful racehorses I have seen with a lovely
feminine head but tremendous quarters and a powerful hind leg. So it was
not a great surprise when she turned out to have a super engine! I first
saw her at Ascot as a two year old when she romped home in the Fillies
Mile and I decided there and then that I would love to paint her.
Bosra Sham's final victory also came at Royal Ascot so it seemed appropriate that I should set the picture at Ascot. I decided to paint her at the Old Mile start because of the lovely trees in the background. I felt that by painting Bosra Sham in repose as opposed to racing action I could convey better her femininity and grace........ Having said that, in full flow she was a wonderful sight. " |
