Robert selects a very limited number of
commission subjects. He has a made a
conscious decision to painting only thoroughbred
racing subjects. He appreciates all the offers to
paint other breeds and other sports, but this
specialization adds to the quality of the paintings
and protects their current value while providing
the greatest opportunity for long term
appreciation of his paintings.
While past performance can not necessarily
reflect future performance; his paintings have
appreciated by 500% over the past five years.
This fact is a result of supply and demand, the
demand for his artwork is expanding
dramatically as his notoriety in the thoroughbred
industry increases.
His customer base is a small, but elite group
including many of the top owners in the sport of
horse racing. If you are interested in learning

Robert Clark wants to thank Mr. William Warren, owner of Saint Liam. The artist painted Saint Liam based upon the silks worn during his 2005 Horse of the Year campaign highlighted by the Breeders’ CupClassic championship.

We all grew to know the pink and ice blue silks, but Mr. Warren asked Bob to change the silks to “HIS” silks that were really pink and Irish Green.
To help get the color right a package arrived with the pink and green silks. The web site’s gallery shows the pink and blue silks, but the artist’s daughter is holding the final product based upon the silks she’s modeling.
