Self Portrait
In 2011 Sally was invited by Racing Post to work with them to paint one of the 10 horse sculptures on display around Cheltenham town centre, for the Cheltenham Horse Parade. Sally painted 12 of Cheltenham Racecourse's legendary winners, including Arkle, Best Mate, Desert Orchid, Denman and Kauto Star. The above photo shows her with the statue whilst it was in town.
