“They all go back to the beginning, a misspent youth and half a life-time watching my friends. At least that’s my reply when asked where I get my ideas from. You may wonder if I have any friends left” - Mark
Mark Huskinson was born at Langar Hall, Nottinghamshire in 1935 from a long line of artists, soldiers and adventurers. He was educated at Ampleforth College where the art room and cricket pitch took preference to academic studies.
After watching the Cheltenham Festival I thought of digging out my old studies of Ascot, New Market and Aintree and doing a new series from these studies. The first series went with me in 1987 to Virginia, Delaware and Tennessee where I had exhibitions. They did not come back. They were all painted in ink and water colour in the same vein as 'The Lines at Cirencester Park'. The best single price was $10,000 which was partly in aid of The Princess Royal's Save the Children Fund when she rode at the Nashville charity race day.
