More on Model Horse Artist Virginia Orison, from Western Horseman magazine


Artist Virginia Orison, in the August 1964 issue of Western Horseman

A friend gave me some vintage back issues of Western Horseman magazine last weekend. I was pleased to see a feature article on artist Virginia Orison. I'll share it here, to complement the other posts I've written about her.





















Here are my previous blog posts that discuss Virginia Orison's art. The one gives an overview:

Two examples of Orison's art that I found at an estate sale are shown at the end of  this post:

  1. This is fascinating. It brings her much closer. If I ever see one of her works [in person] it will mean that much more. I can't help but wonder whether Virginia and Fannie ever heard of each other -!
