Early Morning at Caulfield Racecourse


An early morning painting session at Caulfield racecourse

It's great when I check the weather bureau of an evening and the forecast is for a sunny morning because then I can go early to the track and resume my painting. I love track work because horses can be viewed over a long period of time which is better than on race days where the sight of a thoroughbred is fleeting. By about 8.30 all the horses have finished their work and the track attendants have started their duties. Occasionally someone happens by and takes a look at what I've done but most of the time I'm undisturbed and the grandstand makes a perfect shelter for outdoor painting.
