Gold Horse

Tessa Guze, Gold Horse, oil on canvas

This is a painted I did for a children's book that I recently finished. The children's book is about a carousel horse who visits several other horse. This is a statue in Philadelphia of Joan of Arc riding her horse into battle. It is opposite the Philadelphia Museum of Art on the Parkway in Philly.

Welcome

Thank you for visiting my blog!

As a people and animal portrait painter I believe that a successful portrait is not just a copy of what the subject looks like, but it is also a lasting reflection of the subject's character and personality (whether human or animal). For the artist, this requires getting to know the subject in a very profound way. I love getting to know new people and animals and finding ways to make my paintings reflect their personality and presence.

If you are interested in commissioning a portrait of one of your horses please contact me at tessaguze@gmail.com. Additionally some of the paintings featured in this blog will be for sale, to inquire about them please email me.

I also do portraits of people or portraits of people and animals, so if you would like a portrait of your self and your horse please contact me.
