ON page 19 you’ll will find coverage of the Association of Irish Racehorse Owners Flat Awards, which were presented at Naas last Sunday.
Each winner received a unique painting of their horse by Jason Ó Ceannobháin.
From Dublin but now based in Celbridge, Co Kildare, the 39-year-old artist has been exhibiting his work since the tender age of 14.
Working primarily in acrylic, pencil and charcoal, his technique is characterised by a close attention to detail and realism to accurately capture his subjects and their surroundings.
AIRO manager Regina Byrne took a punt on Jason in commissioning him to paint 16 horses, all this year’s flat and jumps award winners.
Regina said: “I was amazed how quickly Jason turned them out and when I checked them against the photographs I have to say that he did an excellent job.”
The NH awards will be presented next month.
