Portrait models are intended to be copies of a real horse, just in model form! Here are some examples of past portrait models I have done along with the photos of the real horse. Some of these pieces were commissioned work, and some are pieces I made for my own collection.
Izzadorable
Painted in 2024 - Traditional Scale
This is a portrait of my Mustang mare, Izzadorable - aka Izzy. Izzy inspired the name for my studio, and my logo as well. She helped me through the most difficult times in my life, and I don't think I would have made it through without her. I trained Izzy myself, and the bond I had with her was unlike any other horse I have ever worked with. For her full story, see the About the Artist tab. Izzy passed in February of 2024 at 32 years old.
This model was my 2024 NaMoPaiMo (National Model Painting Month) Entry.
