Includes 'Kauto Star' and 'Desert Orchid & Red Rum'.
Highlights of Philippa’s career to date include visiting Windsor Castle and presenting the Queen with a painting of her two Highland Ponies, a memorable day in 2004. Two other important evenings were the auctions for charity of 'Best Mate’ and 'Sadler’s Wells’ original oils, and they raised £13,500 and £8,500 respectively. In 2005 and 2006 the Daily Telegraph used full page colour images of the artist’s oils of 'Desert Orchid’ and 'Best Mate’ in their 'A Year in Pictures’ feature, and Philippa’s work regularly features on Channel 4 Racing and The Morning Line.
The artist has painted for many top Equestrian and Racing families, and also now for several leading greyhound connections. Some notable commissions include FOUR Cheltenham Gold Cup Winners: 'Denman’ , 'Best Mate’ 'Jodami’ and 'Cool Dawn’, Grand National Winner, 'Red Marauder’ and leading greyhounds 'Flying Winner’ and 'Climate Control’.
Pictured bottom left is an oil head portrait of 'French Holly' the ill-fated Cheltenham Festival winner painted for his trainer Ferdy Murphy in 2003.
