Status: Painted 2005? and Sold May 2005
This little guy was a lot of fun to paint and he’s one of the few horses that ended in a bidding war on eBay. Well, he did end up under $30 I think, so more of a bidding skirmish, but still. Continue reading

Status: Painted 200? and Sold 200?

Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Paso Fino (G2)
Color: Red-bay Frame Overo
Gallery: Overo
Medium: Acrylics and Pastels
Status: Painted 200? and Sold 200?
This little gal is something of an oddity in terms of painting techniques. Normally I paint a solid base color and then go back and add white markings, but in this case I left the primer coat alone painted ‘around’ the white markings instead. Continue reading
Silver Dollar

Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Paso Fino (G2)
Color: Purple Bay Frame Overo
Gallery: Overo
Medium: Acrylics, Liquitex Dioxazine Purple
Status: Painted 200? and Sold 200?
This little gal’s named is ‘Purple cloud’ in Portuguese (per Babelfish) and was a custom order along with the Add-a-Foal Pouca Nuvem. As I remember the order was for specific molds in a purple overo pattern, with the details being artist’s choice. Continue reading

Status: Painted 200? and Sold 200?
This little gal’s named is ‘Little cloud’ in Portuguese (per Babelfish) and was an Add-a-Foal on the custom order for Nuvem Roxa. As I remember the order was for specific molds in a purple overo pattern, with the details being artist’s choice. Continue reading
Light the Sky
Make: Breyer
Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Thoroughbred (G2)
Color: Red Bay Frame Overo
Medium: Acrylics
Status: Painted 200? and Sold 200?
This little gal was painted in a run of rainbow thoroughbreds and was my ‘red’ model. She’s an older horse, as you can tell by the fuzzy nature of the photos and lacks a lot of the shading of the newer customs. Continue reading
Everyday Bling
Make: Breyer
Scale: Mini Whinnies
Mold: Reining Stock Mare
Color: Copper and Silver Frame Overo
Gallery: Overo
Medium: Acrylics
Status: Painted 200? and Sold 200?
This little gal is yet another horse that was painted as a donation for the Hampton Roads Classic live shows! I really need to see if other live shows out there would like some door prizes– micro minis are a lot of fun to paint, but I’m not sure I can sell them. Continue reading
Outta tha Blue
Make: Breyer
Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Thoroughbred (G2)
Color: Blue-bay Frame Overo
Medium: Acrylics
Zoom! Swish! Kapow! … Well, okay, maybe not Kapow.
But don’t blink because this little gal is moving at the speed of lightning, and she blends into the sky like no earthly equine could dream of. Watch her fly and pity the Pegasus for needing wings. Continue reading
Punkin
Make: Breyer
Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Standing Foal (G1)
Color: Orange-bay Frame Overo
Medium: Acrylics and Pastels
Status: Painted 2005 and Sold Feb 2005 (eBay)
Nothing like a little glossy attitude to brighten up a shelf!
This little gal was done around Halloween, hence the name, and was one of the few foals that I sold individually.
Foals rarely sold for as much as adults and the time and material costs were high enough that it wasn’t effective to sell them individually. But when I listed her at the adult price, she was snapped up the first time out on eBay.
Hesa Wild Cherry
Make: Breyer
Scale: Mini Whinnies
Mold: Standing Quarter Horse Stallion
Color: Glossy Silver Splash Overo Red Bay
Gallery: Fantasy Overo
Medium: Acrylics
Painted/Sold: August 2005
This little guy was part of a herd I painted as a donation to the Hampton Roads Classic raffle. They might not have been the most impressive of the group, but a group of inch high horses painted in bright glossy colors are great for catching people’s attention. Plus it was fun writing the advertising copy! *grin*
Gilded Midnight
Make: Breyer
Scale: Mini Whinnies
Mold: Cantering Tennessee Walking Horse Gelding
Color: Gold and Black Splash Overo
Gallery: Fantasy Overo
Medium: Acrylics
Status: Painted 200? and Sold 200?
This little fellow is yet another horse that was painted as a donation for the Hampton Roads Classic live shows. Not a whole lot more to say about him, other than the fact these little guys seem to take to metallic colors like kids to candy—and they’re just as much fun to paint! Continue reading
