I have an emotional and psychological connection with all of these paintings. When I look at them, I feel the joy and pain of the races, the cold wind against my face and the bogs beneath my feet. I relive those amazing moments and it brings me great joy and happiness to capture these on canvas and be able to go back and remember all of these great times in my life and all of the associated training runs and recces with friends and family.
In these upcoming posts (over the next 10 weeks), I'll tell you a bit about why I have chosen these paintings for my top 10, why I selected these scenes to paint and where the titles come from.
They are in no particular order and I'm sure that my readers will have their own top 10 including some different paintings.
Feel free to add comments telling me which ones are your favourites and what your top 10 would be.
Enjoy,
Elaine.
