Does anyone have any recommendations for artists/particular pieces of art for which prints can be easily bought online? I move house in a couple of weeks and will suddenly have about twice the wall space to fill, so my current collection of little 6x5 framed photos of the beast will look a bit lost, lol!

To give you some idea of what I'm looking for, I've already bought and framed a big print of We Three Kings (terrible image but you get the idea) which has always been one of my favourite pieces of equine art. I'd like one other big piece; a hunting scene, perhaps, something traditional and oil-paintingy, and perhaps a smaller humorous or more modern picture or two for the kitchen.

Thanks for any ideas.

Daniel Crane is AMAZING! He seems to focus on hunting pics but really captures the atmosphere - oddly I just looked on his website and the images on there really don't do his work justice!! www.danielcrane.co.uk

Ahhhh you are a mind reader - I just got the new Premier Equine catalogue through the door and was admiring the cover art - it's by Daniel Crane!

I love the scenes in the stables with the Witney blankets on, those are exactly the kind of thing I am looking for.

I'm a huge, huge fan of Irish artist Tony O'Connor www.whitetreestudio.ie. In the commissions page the head shot of the black horse is my old girl and the shot of the child is my eldest when she was a toddler and I can tell you they are very good likenesses! The Pegasus painting is also gracing my walls and the best thing about Tony is he loves to do stuff BIG and dramatic. He is very nice to deal with.
 
I'd sell you all of my art for a new pair of long boots xD Only... I don't think it's that good

Some artists work I like...

or, if you ever get chance, check out www.deviantart.com - whole bunch of artists, prints available to purchase from the website (and there are several artists on there like me that would adore you for buying something! Except... 99% of them are better than me! xP)
 
Have you looked at the National Gallery online shop? I've got a copy of Whistlejacket from there (my absolute favourite) but there might be some other pictures you like.
