Paintings by Barbara SEibel

There is beauty in the power, speed and majesty of racing horses that I am powerless to describe. My paintings are my words.

I grew up in Kentucky and have had a deep appreciation of horses from an early age. As many Kentuckians do, our family owned a horse, although not a thoroughbred.

Oaklawn Race Track is in Hot Springs, so I can see live racing part of the year. This is when my camera and I go for a workout of our own.

I also paint behind the scenes at the race track, and I’ve done a series of paintings depicting another side of racing, so interesting in itself.

I do commissions for owners, jockeys, trainers and others. I do as many oil paintings as I do watercolors of these beautiful animals. If you are interested, please contact me.
