This piece by Heidi (HiD) Schwartz captures MPI's WEC opening night at Churchill Downs. The original 36 x 48 acrylic on canvas highlights the racetrack and First Turn Club entrance. Three statue horses, crimson hues symbolizing the red carpet, and the third horse's tail transforming into an abstract rose embody Derby’s "Run for the Roses" theme. Abstract figures of guests add movement, while the iconic trumpet player in his red jacket brings tradition. The background features a blended blue sky with muted hues. The live painting's texture is loose yet detailed, capturing the celebratory spirit of the night.
