Somebeachsomewhere Inspires Art | Standardbred Canada.
A two-by-four foot pencil drawing of the great Somebeachsomewhere was recently unveiled at co-owner and trainer Brent MacGrath’s place of business in Truro, N.S.
The fantastic sketch by artist Robb Scott shows ‘Beach’ flying through the air in a photograph taken by renowned photographer Dave Landry.
“It took two months and 150 hours to draw,” Scott said to the Truro Daily News. “It turned out amazing.”
The original will be displayed at Pye Chev Olds in Truro while prints will be on display at Toyota dealerships in both Truro and Amherst.
MacGrath was looking to capture harness racing’s 2008 Horse of the Year in some form or artwork and Scott, who also maintains the dealership’s website, wore down MacGrath and eventually sold him on a pencil sketch instead of a painting.
“I couldn’t be happier,” MacGrath told Truro Daily News. “He captured ‘Beach’ as the individual which was important to me.”
