Portraits of horses — painted with feeling, and shaped by a lifelong love of these remarkable animals.

A Study in White

Framed Print · $28.50-$102.50
Medium – Digital

There wasn’t really a grand plan behind this one—I just wanted to sit down and paint something I enjoy. I loved working with all the subtle whites, cool shadows, and little details in this horse’s face and braided mane.

A Quiet Moment

Framed Print · $28.50-$102.50
Medium – Digital

I wanted to capture the warmth of the golden coat while keeping the overall feeling calm and painterly. There’s something about horses that makes them such a wonderful subject to paint—strength, elegance, personality, and so much emotion all in one animal.

Gentle Grace

Framed Print · $28.50-$102.50
Medium – Digital

This painting features a soft, golden horse against a blend of deep blues and purples. I really enjoyed playing with the colors in this piece and letting the brushstrokes give it a little life and personality. I wanted to capture something gentle and peaceful, while still giving the horse its own character.

Stillness

Framed Print · $28.50-$102.50
Medium – Digital

This piece began with a feeling of quiet. I was drawn to the idea of a horse standing utterly at ease—unhurried, living in the moment. There is a particular stillness that horses carry when they feel safe, and I wanted this painting to hold that.

A Little Black, a Little White

Framed Print · $28.50-$102.50
Medium – Digital

I really love how the deep red background plays against the black and white of this horse. I wanted to keep the brushwork loose and expressive, with that impressionistic feel that lets the colors and shapes do some of the talking.

Soft

Framed Print · $28.50-$102.50
Medium – Digital

Sometimes, it’s the little details that make a painting special. I really enjoyed playing with the contrast between the deep, dark background and the warm chestnut tones, along with the lighter highlights around the nose and whiskers. There’s something about capturing those small details that gives an animal so much character.

Purple Royalty

Framed Print · $28.50-$102.50
Medium – Digital

I wanted to capture that alert, intelligent look horses have—the way they can seem calm one moment and full of energy the next. I loved playing with warm colors and loose, expressive brushwork, and this piece gave me a chance to really let those oranges, copper tones, and deep shadows come alive.

Chestnut

Framed Print · $28.50-$102.50
Medium – Digital

Chestnut horses have always caught my eye — that warm, burnished coat catching light in a way that feels almost luminous. I painted this portrait against a deep background to let the richness of the colour speak. The result is intimate and direct, a horse that looks back at you.

Golden

Framed Print · $28.50-$102.50
Medium – Digital

There is a warmth to a palomino that I find irresistible — that pale gold coat against a bright sky feels like summer itself. I wanted this portrait to be full of light, open and generous. It is the kind of painting that belongs somewhere you look at every day.
