Horse portrait artists. Any recommendations?

[Caol Ila]

I have portraits of all my horses except for Hermosa. My friend took a lovely headshot of her, but she had schmutz on her camera lens, so it won't work as a canvass wall hanging.

If I could find an artist to draw/paint a portrait based on that photo, then the schmutz would not matter. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Madeline Juniper does fantastic oil portraits but does prefer to take her own photos. She used to have a stand at Blair but didn't last year so I'm not sure if she'll be there this year. She has done my dogs but is equally good at horses.

I love Lisa Wasilewski's work, and she specialises in Iberians. Flying Spirit

She did a painting from a picture I had taken of a friend's driving pony and it is incredible!
I would recommend MahArt on Facebook! She did Rog for my sister and it looks amazing! I'm booked in to get Thena done so I'm looking forward to that!

'I Paint Your Pet', Valerie Reynolds. I have the most fantastic painting of my two greys. Valerie was given a selection of photos of them taken individually and she put them together. The painting excluding frame is 50cm x 60cm. Highly recommended. I came across her at Burghley several years ago.
I love your painting IluvCowparsley. Similar vein to mine but with two greys.

Updating this thread to say that I had a beautiful portrait done by our very own @littleshetland. I’m so pleased with it!

That‘s exquisite! The colours are fabulous and really compliment the horse colour.

@littleshetland beautiful work, such an amazing talent! I’ll definitely be in touch in the future for a portrait of my pair
