Artist Statement
"Before dawn at Santa Anita Racetrack is a very busy and active time. The horses are out early for their training runs and I was fortunate to experience this activity from right down on the track. I was struck by the beauty of the horses and grandstands silhouetted against the glow of the impending sunrise. "

Most often I am painting those actual scenes recorded in history, as conflict and hardship shaped this young country. However, I also paint generic historical scenes of everyday life. This is one of those, when I have fun painting the personality of an engagement between man, women and horse...” —John Buxton...Category
