Paula Wilson
‘Winners of the Palace House Stakes’ 1961-2012 is a 30" x 40" unique visual archive of the race winners. During Paula'a Artist Redicency at the National Horseracing Museum, Newmarket, she painted this race as a fund raiser in support of the new National Horseracing Museum/ Heritage Centre on the site of King Charles II original Palace House & Stables. Which is now built and open in all it's glory.
The arrangement explained:
-
The racing colours are displayed in my Jockey motif, which shows the colours from the back to evoke the excitement of race.
-
The white vertical lines represent the fences along the course.
-
The round red spots at the top on either side of the canvas represent the finishing posts.
-
The boxes along the bottom containing a year e.g. 1961, represent the stalls at the beginning of a race.
-
The columns should be read from the bottom upwards, beginning with the year in the box at the base.
-
Starting at 1961-66 moving to 1967-73 in the next column and so on.
-
A total of 52 winners.
-
This painting comes as a print and a card. The card carries the names of the winners and the years they won on the reverse.
