Art for horses’ sake

Energetic Sussex County teen Shya Beth has started a new online project to benefit Mylestone Equine Rescue in Warren County this month.

The young artist’s Facebook group, Art Of The Horse (the largest equine art group on Facebook with more than 33,300 members), is hosting “Art Of The Horse Saves A Horse.” Each month it will be featuring an equine charity that will provide the artists with five photos of their adoptable horses. The artists then will feature the horses in their art, with half of the proceeds going to the rescue. For more information on the project, go here: https://artofthehorse.wordpress.com/art-of-the-horse-facebook-group/aoth-saves-a-horse

In December, the group will donate proceeds to a charity that is helping equine victims of the California fires.

Here are some examples of the portraits.
