James L. Crow
In the Bluegrass, when the subject of art and horses comes around it will ultimately embrace the well-known equine artist, James L. Crow. During his career, his work has been exhibited in prestigious galleries and museums around the world. On one of his latest works, “Turf Time”, gallery owner Chuck Starr says, "This is one of the few paintings that I can truly say I feel like I am in the picture and a part of it."
During the summer of 1983 the Lady Tavistock saw one of Crow's originals, "Summer Shower", while visiting Collectors Gallery in Lexington, Kentucky. The painting was sitting frameless on the floor. When she lifted it up for a better look she was moved by the expression on the faces of the mare and foal while weathering a storm in the spring rain. Lady Tavistock returned to England and now the painting is hanging at Woburn Abby in Bedfordshire, England, as part of the collection of the Marquess and Marchioness of Tavistock. She was so pleased with Crow's interpretation of the equine subject that she later commissioned him to paint a portrait of her mare, Pushy, and Pushy's foal, Blue Book.
All through the twentieth Century and entering the Twenty-first Century, thoroughbred horse racing has long been one of the most popular sports in America and the experience of the track is a visual narrative in Crow's artwork. Harness racing is another unique competition in the equestrian world and Crow's talent and skill is evident in his paintings as he easily transitions from one type of racing to another.
