"Irish Heritage"

"Irish Heritage", Linda Volrath, 12x16, Oil on Panel

The stunning conformation of this elite level steeplechase horse caught my eye and seems perfectly paired with the striking Celtic design of the jockey's silks. The blue and green harmony is reinforced by the intense bright sky, the tents and grooms' apparel.
