Pm Mildred on here - she is amazing!

I've had Mary Herbet do the most amazing portrait of my boy.

Pencil would be in your price range I think but I had pastels.

Can't remember her website address but if you google her it'll pop up.

I have two pieces by Laura and I love them; I can highly recommend her

I would also recommend -

Whom I hope to use in the future

Thank you for your reccomendations! Think I've chosen!... now I need to get a decent pic of my boy... easier said than done when he likes to pull a moose face whenever I get the camera out!

Disclaimer, I'm completely biased as she is a friend of mine - Lindsay Mathers is excellent. She'll work from photos too. http://mathersart.com/

This is one she did of my little lad http://mathersart.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/copy-of-img_0551a.jpg

She does lots of different styles

Papa Frita did an amazing drawing of Lucy for me. It looks just like her.

The trouble is that these threads tend to get people into trouble for advertising. Otherwise I'd tell you about the wonderful portraits my OH does!

Look up a girl called Chanell Murry on Facebook she had a fine art page and a photography page.....she is super talented. Did a drawing for me and my old mare and I had a photo shoot the other day

Ellie Kay does pencil portraits, amazing and not very expensive:

Refna Hamey does gorgeous portraits, I love how she does one large picture with sketches around it, so lovely http://www.refna.co.uk/

As Kat says its so easy for us to get in trouble for advertising!!

A good source would be the society of equestrian artists, showcasing the talents of many equine artists! Spoilt for choice!!
