Hand Painted Equine Commissions
AmyLyn Bihrle
There’s something timeless about a horse, the quiet strength, the unspoken bond, the way they carry stories in their eyes.
I create hand painted artwork of your horse, using your photos as a guide to capture their look, spirit, and presence. My equine commissions are created to honor that connection in a way that feels both personal and enduring.
Each piece is thoughtfully developed from your photographs and the spirit you share, blending realism with expressive, painterly detail to capture more than appearance alone. I work slowly and intentionally, building layers with archival materials so your artwork stands as a lasting tribute, whether it celebrates a companion still by your side or remembers one who now runs free beyond the meadow.
Every commission is not just a portrait, but a piece of your story, translated into something you can hold onto for years to come.

Commission Tiers I - IV
I -The Majestic
A heartfelt, realistic portrait that honors your horse exactly as you know them.
Every marking, expression, and small detail is carefully observed to capture their true personality, the look in their eyes, the tilt of their ears, the presence you recognize instantly.
Soft shading, layered tones, and a light background keep the focus on your horse, bringing them to life with warmth and depth without distraction.
This style is all about connection. Not just how they looked, but how they felt to you, your companion, your spirit, your story.
Each piece is hand painted with care and intention, creating a timeless artwork to treasure for a lifetime.

11×14 starting at $750
16×20 starting at $1300

II - The DreamWalker
A blend of true likeness and flowing movement, capturing not just how your horse looked, but how they felt.
This style features my signature wispy, flowing mane and tail work. Each strand moves with energy and emotion, creating a sense of life, freedom, and spirit across the canvas.
Some portraits hold soft, gentle motion, while others lean more dramatic with sweeping movement that adds depth and presence. Every line is intentional, revealing the soul beneath the surface.
This is where realism meets emotion, where your horse is remembered not just as they were, but as they lived and moved.
Each piece is hand painted, becoming a powerful tribute to both their beauty and their spirit, timeless, expressive, and deeply personal.
Rough estimates:
11×14 starting at $950
16×20 starting at $1650

III -The Unbridled
A meaningful portrait inspired by heritage markings, symbolism, and the deep connection between horse, earth, and spirit.
Your horse may be adorned with subtle, intentional markings that reflect strength, protection, intuition, and legacy. Each element is thoughtfully placed, adding layers of story and meaning beyond the physical form.
This style is ideal for honoring a guardian horse, telling a deeper story, or creating a piece that feels symbolic and soulful.
All markings are used with care and respect. Nothing is added without purpose, and the work is approached with mindfulness toward the traditions and meanings behind these visual elements.
The result is a powerful, ceremonial piece, both a tribute and a keepsake, carrying a sense of connection, reverence, and timeless presence.
Rough estimate:
11×14 starting at $1100
16×20 starting at $2000
18×24 starting at $2800
24×36 starting at $4500

IV - The Elemental
Ritual Heirloom
Earthen & Essence Infused.
A deeply personal, mixed media portrait created using materials from your horse’s world.
Available for both living horses and memorials, this piece honors your bond in a tangible, lasting way, whether celebrating a companion by your side or remembering one who now runs free.
You may choose to include meaningful elements such as horsehair, soil, or other natural materials. These are carefully woven into the artwork, creating a one-of-a-kind piece rooted in connection and memory.
Each heirloom is built with layered materials such as earth pigments, gemstone powders, mica, and archival mediums. The result is rich in texture, depth, and quiet symbolism.
This is a ceremonial, collector-level piece, less about realism, more about presence, energy, and story.
Because materials vary, final pricing is customized based on what is included in your piece.

11×14 starting at $1200
16×20 starting at $2800
