There’s something about horses that makes my heart beat a bit faster - their flowing manes, powerful strides, and the way they seem to feel the world around them. When I paint them, I want you not just to see them, but to feel them. To sense their strength, their spirit, and yes, sometimes their cheeky character.
Through my horse paintings, I aim to bring that magic into your home as bold wall art canvas prints, elegant framed pieces of wall art, or vibrant animal wall art that sparks conversations and smiles. And trust me, these aren’t just pretty decorations. They’re soulful introductions.
Meet the Herd: Horses with Heart
Each horse I paint isn’t just a shape on wall art canvas; they’re individuals, bursting with story and personality. Let me tell you about three of my favourites.
Miss Ellie—The Silken Showstopper
When painting Miss Ellie it was her confidence and flair I wanted to capture. Her wall art canvas is big, bold and unapologetically vibrant - full of rich contrast and splashes of bright colour that echo her joyful spirit. If you're looking for animal artwork that wows,
Miss Ellie is your horse.
Pebbles—The Canine-Inspired Culinary Horse
That secret side to Pebbles is captured in The Dark Horse wall art canvas - a piece that balances refined lines with rich, unexpected tones. It’s a horse painting with a wink, perfect for anyone who values soul, strength, and surprise.
Margaret—The Retired Racer Who Loves Cheese and Craft
Her animal portrait is softer, calmer, creamy neutrals, gentle pastels, and relaxed lines that reflect her cosy lifestyle now. It’s the kind of animal wall art that feels like a hug, the perfect piece for bedrooms or snug corners where comfort and quiet matter most.
Why Horse Paintings Deserve a Place on Your Walls
There’s a special kind of energy that fills a room when you welcome a horse painting into it. It’s hard to describe - but once it’s there, you feel it. Horses have this incredible ability to be strong without being loud. There’s power in their presence, but it’s never forceful.
They exude elegance effortlessly, and what's even better? They don’t need to do a thing to turn heads - they just are.
That’s exactly what I try to capture in my horse paintings. Not just a likeness, but a living presence. The way a tail flicks at the exact right moment, the softness in their gaze, or the quiet confidence in the way they hold themselves. I want my animal art to feel like there’s a story unfolding just beneath the brushstrokes - something familiar, comforting, and completely unique.
Whether you’re drawn to their grace, their wild spirit, or even just their gentle company, these horse paintings bring more than beauty. They bring companionship. They feel like a friend on the wall - watching, listening, and lifting the mood in a way only animals can.
It’s something I aim for in all my animal artwork - not just to reflect how they look, but who they are. So, whether it’s one of my Highland Cow Paintings, a joyful dog portrait, or one of these majestic horses, every piece of wall art is created to bring a spark of life into your home. A quiet nudge of joy. It creates a subtle yet profound sense of connection.
And really, isn’t that what the best art does? It makes your space feel more like you.
Choosing the Right Format
Because every home is different (just like each horse!), I offer three formats to suit your style:
- Bold statement piece
- Wrapped in a floating black frame, ready to hang
- Ideal for big walls and bold declarations
- Sleek, stylish, and lighter in weight
- Choose from natural wood, white, or black frames
- Acrylic glazing reduces glare — perfect for hallways and bedrooms
- Gallery-quality, printed on 200 gsm art paper
- Perfect if you want to pick your own frame
- Budget-friendly without compromising quality
All prints use lightfast giclée ink, so your horse paintings stay vibrant for decades.
Where Do These Horses Come to Life?
One of my favourite things, aside from painting the animals themselves, is helping you find just the right spot for your piece. Because where you hang your animal artwork matters. It’s not just about filling a wall; it’s about letting the character of the piece settle into your space and lift it in just the right way.
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Living Room: If you’re after a showstopper, this is where Miss Ellie really shines. These big, bold horse canvases are full of presence, perfect for anchoring a room. Hang one above the sofa or mantel, and pair it with a couple of cushions or throws that echo the colours in the horse painting. It pulls everything together beautifully and makes the space feel thoughtfully designed without trying too hard.
Bedroom: For something more soothing, Margaret is your girl. Her soft tones and quiet spirit make her ideal for a restful space. I love the idea of her watching over your evenings, her calm energy adding a sense of peace and gentleness as you wind down.
Hallway or Entryway: Want to make guests smile the second they walk in? Pop Ellie near the front door. They’ve got just the right mix of sass and charm to greet visitors with personality. Plus, these wall art pieces are great conversation starters - especially when someone spots the hidden sparkle of a turnip soufflé or a mud-splattered party frock!
Home Office or Study: If you need a boost of inspiration while you work, one of my more poised, graceful horses can bring just the right touch. A horse painting here adds a little bit of elegance and helps soften those all-too-serious Zoom backdrops. It’s like having a quiet companion while you power through your to-do list.
And if you’re still scratching your head about placement? Just pop me a message! I love helping people make wall art feel at home - it’s honestly one of the best parts of what I do. Let’s find the perfect spot for your new four-legged friend.
Perfect Gift for Horse Lovers
A horse painting is more than just décor: it’s a statement. It reminds you of past rides, childhood friends, or simply a love of these majestic creatures. I’ve had customers commission horse art as retirement or new-home gifts - and there’s nothing quite like seeing the sheer delight on their faces when it arrives.
Want a Bespoke Horse Painting Piece? Here’s How
I open commissions twice a year, and each slot fills up fast. If you’d like a horse painted in your style or colour palette, join my waiting list to be first in line when the next window opens.
You’ll send me your favourite photos, tell me their quirks, and perhaps what mood you’d like the piece to bring. Then I pour my heart into every brushstroke - capturing their spirit in vivid colour and pattern.
Find the Horse Painting That Speaks to You
Horse paintings capture a timeless blend of freedom, beauty, and depth. Whether it’s the sparkle of Ellie’s cheeky grin, Pebbles’s cunning sparkle, or Margaret’s wise restfulness, these canvases breathe life onto your walls.
If your home is craving a splash of soul, equine-inspired animal artwork might be your perfect fit. From statement wall art canvas to sweet print, there’s a horse here for every heart - and every space.
