Last week I brought you part 1 of grey horses in art and today it’s time for part two. I found more grey animals than any other color in the artistic world, which is rather interesting to note.

Grey Horse Art
Lately I’ve been focusing a lot on horse art, but I can’t help it, the more I find the more I look for. My color series has been particularly enjoyable as they span many years, artistic types & cultures.
So Much Color
Today I want to focus on the art of grey animals, and I was able to find a lot of it. Grey animals are often used in portraits and generally depicted as a strong & slightly dappled mount. This will definitely be a multi-part post so keep checking back for parts 2 & 3. For now be sure to check out the other colors of horses in art, white (pt. 2) | black (pt. 2) | red | pinto | palomino | appaloosa | Bay (Pt. 2)

George and the Dragon Pt. 2
Not too long ago I posted about art based around the story of St. George & the Dragon. It’s a rather romantic story and St. George was a brave chap, his story is celebrated by a number of cultures.
A Long Tradition
Of the artwork I was able to find, the earliest was painted in the middle of the 14th century & artists have been celebrating this hero in paint ever since. These works span the 15th century through the 20th century and the subject is still as romantic & exciting as it was when the first brush hit the first canvas.

Circus Horses in Art
While I’m not a huge fan of traveling circuses I don’t feel as bad about enjoying a little art on the subject. Perhaps the most interesting part about these pieces is the sort of surreal point of view they all seem to take.
Art of All Types
In most of these images the horses are grand and handsome figures & I’m guessing (hoping anyway) that some of the original circuses were proud of their animals & took great care of them.

Last week I featured some amazing art featuring bay horses and this week I’ve got more to share. The final installment (for now) of my horses in art by color collection.
The Art of Color
This has been a fun series of posts and has quickly put itself in my top ten favorites. I’ll be keeping an eye out for different colors (I’m keeping them sharp for some greys), because I just can’t seem to get enough horse art. Who knew there was so much out there? For now be sure to check out the rest of the colors. white (pt. 2) | black (pt. 2) | red | pinto | palomino | appaloosa

Westbury White Horse
The Wiltshire White Horses are some of my favorite elements of history in Britain. It’s not just me who is captured by them, they are so unique that other cultures have created their own white horses.

Finding horses in strange situations is something I enjoy, from snow to sand to clouds I look for them everywhere I go. Luckily there are plenty of photographers who seem to feel the same way that share their visions with the rest of us.

A One Horse Open Sleigh
Regardless of what your faith or what holidays you celebrate it’s hard not to enjoy horse art. So my gift to everyone today is a fun collection of horses with sleighs in art.
Happy Holidays
As this year draws to a close and the holiday madness begins to slow it’s a great time to appreciate a little artwork. Interestingly enough, many of these come from Russia & many of them picture famous Orlov Trotter animals pulling racing sleighs.

Horses in The Ice

Who doesn’t love a good horse ice sculpture? They are cold, drippy and carved into your favorite animal – they are temporary art that only lasts for so long. In fact, the photographs are all that remains of these particular ice sculptures.
