Note: This painting is shown as a portfolio example. The price listed reflects my most affordable entry point for a custom digital pet portrait. Original oil portraits are quoted individually based on size and detail.

This commissioned portrait features a Dutch Warmblood horse captured mid-performance during a show, highlighting the breed’s athleticism, elegance, and refined presence. The composition emphasizes poised movement, expressive eyes, and polished conformation, reflecting the horse’s energy, discipline, and show-ready grace.

Painted as a hand-crafted oil portrait, this piece focuses on realistic textures, nuanced lighting, and subtle color transitions to convey depth and vitality. The background is rendered softly to emphasize the horse while providing context for the competitive, formal setting of a show arena.
