Large original oil painting on canvas depicting two well-dressed women at the Royal Ascot horse racing meeting, this original work is entitled 'Ascot Ladies', and is by the highly collectable, and much sought after, English artist Mark Spain (b.1962 ).

Mark Spain trained in technical graphics at Medway College of Art where upon graduating he set up a print studio in Kent producing original etchings and collographs.  He exhibited his works extensively across the UK and found his figurative oil paintings were particularly well received, and he was soon signed to one of the UK?s leading publishing houses, the Washington Green Partnership.  His work now hang in galleries and private collections across the world and he says his goals are always to create a certain amount of movement within the image, with particular emphasis on setting a mood and atmosphere.
