This beautiful 12"x16" print by Louisville resident and artist Richard Sullivan is titled "Kentucky Derby Flow." This print of an original watercolor shows thoroughbreds racing down the track of the Kentucky Derby. The jockey and horse are one, everything is on the line, years of training going into one moment. The flow state is what we are all going after, whether it be in athletics, meditation, or creative endeavors like painting and writing.

A former professional baseball player, Sullivan is a brilliant watercolorist whose ethereal yet vibrant art evokes emotion and memory. Sullivan was commissioned by Woodford Reserve to create the artwork for the 2020 and 2021 Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby Bottles.

Also included is a 750 mL bottle of Woodford Reserve signed by Richard Sullivan.
