I am in need of doing a case subject dealing with the grey quarter horse. I am familiar with Orren Mixer’s works. But was unsuccessful in finding what I am looking for. I would appreciate it if someone would be willing to hand me a link to some actual good paintings of some grey quarterhorses. Thanks!
Good luck with that project.
Allow me to offer one caveat. If your client has asked you to do a portrait of a specific horse, you had better believe that he/she will know if it’s his or her horse. A generic picture of any grey quarter horse may not do, at all!
I did a portrait of a woman’s two poodles, working from her own photgraph. When done, she was fine with the way I captured ONE dog, but said that the other looked nothing like hers. I, frankly couldn’t tell the difference between the dogs in the photo, much less from the portrait. No less than THREE reworks later, I gave up and refunded the lady her money.
Good luck and take care.

Why not ask for your benefactor’s favorite photo of their horse?
