First Lot is a painting of a group of racehorses on morning exercise here in Ireland. I was drawn to the sight of the horses emerging from the early morning mist which is slowly rising and the mellow orange colours of the rising sun as it breaks through through the trees. This painting and another called Morning has Broken are from the same morning. I am grateful for the use of David Betts Photographs for this piece.
