It’s no secret the the pinto is (probably) my favorite horse coloration – piebald, skewbald I love them all. There is just something about the contrast between bold colors on a field of bright white.
All the Pretty Horses
Recently I’ve been doing a weekly post featuring different horse colors in art. It’s interesting to see how artists portray different coat colors and a fun collection to have. So far I’ve shared white (pt. 2), black (pt. 2) & red horses in art and today it’s all about those spots! Spotted animals are thought to be of ancient origin and despite common misconception pintos (& appaloosas) aren’t a product of the wild wild west. Their roots go way further back in history and they were often reserved for the wealthy or royalty.
So Many Colors
I have a few more colors up my sleeve so stay tuned because it seems that wednesdays are turning into art days. Until next week be sure to check out the other colors. white (pt. 2) | black (pt. 2) | red
Like alot, this is my kinda stuff
The Arabian stallion is gorgeous! 😀
You did amazing work again, thank you! most i liked the Quianlong picture, so radiant!
Beautiful ! Detailed. This is what I call art. Very talented.
What a great variety of sources – variety of locations and eras of pinto horses. My favorite has always been Jacques-Louis David’s Romantic painting of Napoleon Crossing The Alps. I’ve also seen some pintos & spotted horses drawing pageant wagons in medieval paintings. Thanx for sharing your passion for horse art!
Loved the fleeing horses and the arabian stallion. 🙂
I love Pintos, once I rode a tobiano pinto with one blue eye and a brown eye and he was the most wonderful to ride and really nice.Thanks for sharing, really good art. I can’t really choose an absolute favourite! They’re all so good!
Snoo 🙂

Being a painter,sculptor and horselover I depicted a lot of horses- also by commission.
Please feel free to look at my website to see some examples!
Wishing you lots of succes en joy with horses in art.
