Unusual Horse Art Pt 6

As I’ve been delving into the strange & unusual world of horse art I’ve been sharing collections as I go along. It was an interesting summer and I’m looking forward to an even more artistic autumn & winter season.

Artistic Challenge

Let’s face it, there are only so many ways you can represent a horse in art…however there are an almost unlimited number of art forms & techniques that give each piece it’s own panache. For each piece I tried to track down the artist & it’s current location (if anyone is privy to info about a piece, please leave it for me in the comments below so I can add it).

Horse Postcards

Awhile back I posted part 1 of my horse postcard collection and it’s time to take a look at part 2. It’s been a lot of fun to discover horse art in such a variety of unique places & I’m nowhere near finished.

Artistic Statement

The imagery is almost cheeky, which seems appropriate in the animal industry, but not so expected for their time period. Cheeky works for me so I thought these were fabulous & wanted to share them with my horse-loving readers. I don’t have dates for all of them, but the artwork or photography on them is obviously not from the 21st century…some of them even look like they’ve been used or (gasp) even mailed!

As we head down the slope towards colder temperatures I figured I had better post this before winter arrived. Not to mention my recent obsession with unique & interesting types of equine art – I’d say creating horses out of solid water is pretty unusual indeed!

Perhaps my favorite part of running this site is being able to look at so many pictures of horses. That said, after a while I start to get creative and look for new types of horse to share. Luckily horse lovers tend to be creative and they provide me plenty of resources.

Horse Embroidery

When it comes to horse art, I’m not fussy – I like all types. Here is an interesting twist on artistic talents – horse embroidery. It’s definitely an underestimated art form and one that takes hours of concentration and work to achieve.

With the wide variety of horse-loving creative types there is a great selection of equine art forms. From driftwood to old horseshoes to thread, a horse can emerge from almost any materials if the artist is determined enough.
