Tara Kemp

original oil painting of a woman riding a white horse with great speed across a scrub prairie. The day is sunny, there are distant hills.

"Quicksilver", oil on linen, 16 x 20". Painted from a reference photo I took of a barrel racer at the Sisters Rodeo last summer. I wasn't so interested in the calf roping and other displays of testosterone, but the women barrel racers were the bomb! Such skills in speed and agility, the ponies too!
