JOCKEY

"Jockey"

6" x 9" Mixed Media Drawing on Antique Dictionary

A good friend asked me to draw a "Jockey" dictionary page a few weeks ago as a gift.  This friend has a special love and interest in horses.  She sent me a bunch of different photos of the same man on different animals wearing different shirts and caps.

When I finished the artwork I asked to know more about this particular man and was amazed at his story.  He is quite the famous quarter horse jockey and just recently announced his retirement.

I have created a lot of different occupations on dictionary pages and am especially honored to have made something for this man.
