I would like to do a series of paintings showing the sweet love and trust that a human can have with a horse. I am looking for exceptionally endearing photos of humans with their horses. Children too. I prefer close up head shots but can do full body shots. This is not a contest. If you like my work you can talk to me about purchase, but mostly what I want is for anyone who submits a photo for a portrait, that I have their permission to paint them, and to reproduce it for sale , if the work is of the appropriate quality.
Here is one of Endiku with one of her ponies. I think this would make a lovely portrait
and this one of Katie with her now gone Hugo is another example of the kind of love and trust I want to try and capture
so, if you have one that you think is what I am looking for, go ahead and submit. I have some that I have already chosen and will contact the persons for permission if they end up being painted.
Wow, this is a great idea Tiny.I think both the HF's pictures you showed above are stunning and also, great examples of passion and bond. I only have on picture like that. That is of me and my hearthorse (Owned by the horse stud i have worked for, for a while - don't worry I do have permission for pictures !
I uploaded the first picture as a black and white, because I love the bond it helps portray! I also added the full colour version for you. Good luck, and thanks for letting me give you these pictures! Oh! And one more picture I love is on the bottom .
What a great idea Caroline! I look forward to seeing your work (like always).
Here's a cute one of my best friend's daughter with a mare we have since sold. Haley (horse) was fascinated with little ones. Sweetheart of a mare that was a loner until kids came in the pasture and she was always the first one to come visit.
Hey Tiny, I've been meaning to get in touch with you and then I saw this thread and thought the picture may work. I have more pics but I don't think I have any that will work in this thread so I won't post them here but I'll shoot you an email.
Ok, I just sat down after a busy day. I will try to start some sketching. Please have patience . It's going to take some time to get even some of these done. drawing people is really hard, but I am finding more and more that I actually like it! so, that's good. But, getting the correct likeness, well . . .that's another story. So, it may not be the exact likeness, but what we want is the feeling of love and trust.
Hang in there , I gotta get my rusty hand going on these@!
ok, I did a lot of pencil sketching last night. About 20 minutes per portrait. They are by no means finished, but if we like them, then I can paint them. some of them I showed in the full size and in the cropped size. Let me know which you prefer.
Love them Caroline! I like all of them either way but wares I definitely like the full size - it's almost like her horse is looking at the camera saying "Hey, look look - see me eat my human?"
Thank you! You wouldn't recognize him now. He's changed a lot in the last year. He lives with his father for most of the year so I only see him a few weeks every year. That filly had only had a handful of rides and none bareback and before I knew it, he climbed on and was riding her around the farm. They are both my babies.
Been waiting for ages for some work from you tiny!! I love the sketches. So lovely! Cant wait to see more!
