Cute Palomino Filly – Rein’s Playground

Rein's Playground - Commissioned painting of a Palomino filly by Anne West

I got to paint this cute little filly, not one, but twice! Boy, she is build like a brick you-know-what! Look at those hind quarters! She is going to be a big, strong husband horse!

Buckles – Portrait of a buckskin dapple dun quarter horse

anne — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 02:46:28 +0000

This is Buckles. I think he is a Quarter Horse, but not sure. He is a really interesting color, kinda buckskin but with dapples and a dun stripe! Very cool! I had fun exaggerating the colors on him.

This painting is one of my ‘specials’ right now, which is an amazing value, actually. This horse portrait is on a 16″ x 20″ birch board (which are super nice! I like them way better than canvas) and only costs $200! We are talking a custom portrait of your horse by a professional artist for $200. It’s a steal. I typically charge $400 for a painting that size. So half off for paintings right now!

And hey, if you have been thinking of having me paint your horse, get it now for 2 reasons:

1. I am super cheap right now, but my prices will go up as I become more well known and busier.

2. When an artist becomes well-known, their earlier works are more highly valued.

So, purchasing a portrait or custom painting of your horse right now from me is a double-whammy as a great value AND good investment.

“Isabella” – Portrait of a Thoroughbred Percheron horse

Isabella - Portrait of a Thoroughbred Percheron cross

This is “Isabella”, a 22 y/o TB/Percheron cross (the owner’s first horse) She is enjoying her senior years relaxing and going for a few trail rides here and there. She has been to shows, clinics, beach rides and her owner says, “I just love her to pieces.”

This was a fun portrait to do because of the strong lighting…it makes for a very dramatic portrait.

Solecita’s Pride – portrait of a Peruvian Paso and Rider

Solecita's Pride - Horse and Rider portrait

This is Solecita and her owner Dawnita. Solecita was a Peruvian Paso horse and she and Dawnita did many lovely things together, including giving Alzheimer’s patients buggy rides, parades and other exhibitions. I just loved the original photo when I saw it. The dress is so amazing and I could just see the love between these two in the picture. Solecita, unfortunately, had to be put down due to DSLD (Degenerative Suspensory Ligament Desmitis) which is an issue with some gaited horses. So I am very honored to have painted such a beautiful memorial to her for Dawnita.

Horse Portraits in Living Room by Anne West

admin — Tue, 17 May 2011 09:00:51 +0000

I thought I would put this photo out there so that people can see what my art looks like in your house. These are two portraits that I painted for a patron in Canada. The first one, over the fireplace, was The Masters. He was a harness racing horse. That painting is 24″ x 24″ on deep gallery wrap canvas. It does not need a frame. Framing it would give it a completely different look, so framing is always up to you.

The other painting of the white horse is El Pine, an old quarter horse. That one is 16″ x 20″.

I paint custom portraits of horses, and also do portraits of horse and rider. If you are interested in a portrait, visit me on Facebook at www.facebook.com/westhorseart or email me at anne@westhorseart.com. Getting a custom portrait is very, very easy. Simply email me a few digital photos of your horse/s and I’ll look through them and pick one that I think will make a really good portrait. I always work from photos, so the better your photo is, the better chance I have a making you an outstanding portrait. Photos should be hi res, in good lighting (not all in shadow), in focus, and close to the horse.

“Jenny’s New Star” a portrait of a draft horse and foal

anne — Mon, 09 May 2011 23:29:44 +0000

This was a fun painting to do. I love draft horses and this is the first time I have painted one. I am working on a second one to go along with this one. This mare is such an interesting color and look at the star on that filly! I looks like a big ‘C’. And that filly has all these round swirls of hair on her face. So cute!

“El Pine” portrait of a flea bitten Quarter Horse

Here is ‘El Pine’ a lovely old quarter horse that belongs to a friend of mine in Canada. He is in retirement now, but what a lovely fellow.

I loved doing this painting! Sammy and his little gang of mustangs were so anxious for me to make them beautiful for their mommy! Aren’t these mustangs so cute.
