"Beautiful Horses of New York"

A series of paintings by Karen Brenner

Early in 2011, equine artist Karen Brenner accepted nominations for her newest series of paintings, "Beautiful Horses of New York."

Deadline for nominations was March 30, 2011. Selection was based on the information provided on the nomination form. Karen hoped to include a wide variety of breeds and colors in the "Beautiful Horses of New York" series. And the response was great!

In mid- to late June 2011 Karen Brenner will travel throughout New York photographing the horses selected for the project. She will use these reference shots for the paintings in the series. Horses must be available during that time frame to be photographed.

The "Beautiful Horses of New York" series will include a painting of each selected horse. As the paintings are completed they will be posted in a special section of the Horse Paintings by Karen Brenner website. This special section will also include short stories about the selected horses and photos of the horses with their owners.

This will be the sixth in Karen Brenner's "Beautiful Horses" series. Here are links to previous series: Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Texas.
