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

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

Color: Purple Bay Frame Overo

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

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

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

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

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.

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*

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
