And they'r off! Surging foreward like a tidal wave, the horses are out of the gate and fighting for position! Painted with thick, lucious strokes of oil paint in an impressionistic-realistic style, this small format oil painting depicts the drama, color, and excitement of horse racing. Painted on a sturdy hand- gessoed and sanded 1/8 inch thick birch plywood panel. "Surge" is an OSWOA™ (Original Small Work Of Art) oil painting, and, as with all OSWOA art, it is an original miniature work of art in the set 4x6 format that is also thin enough to fit into photo album sleeves .
