About Saratoga Race Course

Though originally from New York, I’ve never visited the Saratoga Race Course. When I was asked to depict it on canvas, I did a thorough search of photographs online, and ultimately, used this photo from Times Union as my guide.

I painted this as a commission for a woman whose husband’s favorite place *on earth* is the Saratoga Race Course. Since painting it, I have had many people comment on how it’s one of their favorite places as well.
