On 24th September I finally met King of Answers, a thoroughbred I own a share in with Claymore Racing, and whose portrait I’ve painted.

It was my first visit to Lucinda Russell Racing yard. During the visit I watched a few groups on the gallops, including seeing King run. Loved it, as did the horses, getting a good leg stretch.

Here is the finished painting, and also a photo of me and King, with his portrait. When I showed it to him I watched as his eye looked down at it and then he lightly rested his muzzle on it. I think that was the King’s seal of approval!
