American Pharoah

American Pharoah won the American Triple Crown and the Breeder's Cup Classic in 2015.  He won the four races becoming the first horse to win the Grand Slam of American Horse Racing.  I live about 1/2 hour away from Belmont Raceway and wish I could've seen him in person...but it was so exciting watching him on television!!  He is definitely a handsome boy!!

    First time I've seen you paint a horse, Hilda, yet you make it look as if you paint them every day. You've got him exactly - lovely painting

    I had the same impression of him that you did, Hilda! Those horses seem so magnificent - the royalty of the horse world. To see him race in person would be awesome!

    Bonjour chère amie,

    Wouhou !! Il est magnifique ce cheval ! Tu as réussi avec un immense talent à rendre l'auguste de ce cheval. Son regard témoigne son élégance, son rang... Toutes mes félicitations pour cette excellente capture.
    Il faut aimer pour sublimer... Cela se sent dans ce très beau pastel. Bravo encore !
