Horse paintings from photos

[Ample Prosecco]

Hi
Does anyone know of anyone who can paint or draw a horse from photos. There are 2 young horses on the yard who have died or are going to be PTS soon in tragic and totally unexpected circumstances so liveries are doing a whip round to commission a picture or painting of each. Can't ask on FB as we want it as a surprise for the owners.

TIA

I had one done by Joanne Elrod a few years ago as a competition prize. It’s lovely http://www.tarimoorart.co.uk

When my friends young horse was pts unexpectedly I used Katy Ferrari to do a portrait it was beautiful they are not cheap but we did a collection on the yard and raised quite a bit of money.

We gave her the picture on mother's day and she sobbed her heart out bless her but she absolutely loved it.

It's a lovely thing to do for someone.

Gary Booth Art on Facebook does pencil sketches.

This is the one he did of my cat which I won a few years ago, some fellow liveries have had ones completed of their dogs.

I was going to recommend her, her signature when she was last on here had the most amazing photo like paintings. I spent ages staring at the little foal one trying to work out if it was a photo or a painting!

Thirding the PF suggestion

Jane Wills would be my recommendation.

I had my old boy painted by Papa Frita nearly 10 years ago. I’d post a photo but the forum won’t let me for some reason.

I had Rachael Robinson do a pencil drawing of my share horse for his owner when I moved. She was very easy to deal with, sent me photos of it in progress and the finished picture was amazing. Very affordable too.

There's also someone in my village who does pencil drawings -not expensive either

A friend does pencil drawings, he is great. He gets lots of practice with the racehorses ?

Great suggestion. She’s going to be in the UK soon too.

She is one of the best, she captures the character of the animal-they're living, breathing paintings!

I've got a gorgeous pencil drawing of my mare by Pilar Larcade (Papa Frita). My sister got it done for me a few years ago and it's stunning.
