Tom Chapman
Imagine careening down a racetrack on a half ton of horse flesh doing 40 MPH. Some would consider this as an art form. Many believe that some of artist/former jockey, Tom Chapman's, rides were works of art. Now his art takes on a more traditional form. Instead of riding horses, Tom now paints them. 
Chapman works primarily with oils, and his style is versatile. The diversity in his techniques share one common ground, they all reveal his love, and knowledge of horses. Tom not only captures the grace, and beauty of his subjects, but also the raw power, and energy that equine athletes exude. Toms dramatic use of color, light, and shadow display the sheer thrill of horse racing at its very best.
This site is a gallery of Toms very unique, and incredibly powerful works of art. Everything within this web site, including original oils, gicleé prints, greeting , holiday cards, and poetry prints, mousepads, and other assorted items are available for purchase.
Tom not only does horseracing paintings but horse related themes of all venues. He also paints dogs, cats, birds, chickens, wildlife, western themes, and landscapes. There should be something for everyone on this website.
Katherine and Tom designed this whole page and have a new Poetry in Art page that is beautifully done. They have produced small matted prints with Katherine's poetry inserted within paintings that Tom did. Click on banner below to go directly there! And have fun!
