Artist with hooves and whinnies hold brushes and create paintings
Horses are know for running and jumping, but now there are a few that have taken up painting. They hold the paintbrush in their mouth and nod and swing their head while applying paint to canvas or paper. I bet some of these horse artist have sold more paintings than some human artist.
Horse business owners take note that the owners of these horse painters know how to get publicity; publicity equals more sales. Check out the PR news on Romeo and Juliet – newspapers, web sites, blogs, horse magazines to bird magazines. What does your horse or horse business do that is a bit different – news worthy ? – well get the news out with press releases and blog postings!
Meet the four horses that paint…
- Cholla, a mustang artist. Cholla has a full page feature in the new Ripley’s Book, ‘The Remarkable Revealed’, release date 8/7/07.

- and now DaVinci, the new paint horse art student!

I like the one called, “Finish Line” because of the purple color and the movement and form.
Dear Cheryl, Thank you for your kind comments and I do hope you are right about a trend about people posting more positive news. That is what we all need to focus on, or so says the latest books and brain research.
Thank you for giving us such a shining example of love that expands the joy in others – animal or human.
