Scoville’s Ghost

Scoville's Ghost

Make: Breyer
Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Trotting Foal (G2)
Color: Bay Tobiano
Gallery: Tobiano
Medium: Acrylics and Pastels
Status: Painted 200? and Sold 200?

This little guy is quite the show-off! He’s got a rich bay base, complex tobiano pattern, and a Sculpy base that has been covered in sand and train grass. It’s models like Ghost that remind me I might possibly know what I’m doing… and there’s nothing like sharp looking foal to kick in the ego. Continue reading →

Magpie’s Six

Make: Breyer
Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Trotting Foal (G2)
Color: Palomino
Gallery: Dilutes
Medium: Acrylics and Pastels
Status: Painted 200? and Sold 200?

“One for sorrow, Two for joy… Named after the old nusery rhyme, this pretty little gal was and Add-a-Foal for a custom palomino Arabian (Catbird’s Fancy) and is one of the better palominos I’ve done, I think. The color is nice and soft and there’s a lot of the baby coat fading that’s missing from most of my other foals. Continue reading →

Nobody’s Fool

Nobody's Fool

Make: Breyer
Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Trotting Foal (G2)
Color: Bay
Gallery: Bay
Medium: Acrylics and Pastels
Status: Painted 200? and Sold 200?

Nobody is a simple resculpt, with some added feathering and smidge of epoxy added to his face to change the profile. He was created as part of a custom order– yet another unnamed foal that got a moniker post-sale (I just got bored of all the ‘Unnamed’ showing up in the galleries). Continue reading →

Unnamed Portrait Foal

Make: Breyer
Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Trotting Foal (G2)
Color: Black Tobiano
Gallery: Tobiano
Medium: Acrylics
Status: Painted 200? and Sold 200?

This little gal (guy?) was a custom ordered portrait horse… but that’s all the notes I have on her right now. Once I figure out who she is, I’ll come back and update the name and the description. Continue reading →

Baby Grand

Make: Breyer
Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Trotting Foal (G2)
Color: Bay
Gallery: Bay
Medium: Acrylics and Pastels
Status: Painted 200? and Sold 200?

This little guy was an Add-a-Foal for an Andalusian custom order (Senza Sordina) and is a nice plain bay without any chrome. As soon as I can track down my notes I’ll come back and add in more information, but for now—he’s just a Baby Grand struttin’ his stuff in the pasture. Continue reading →

PS Foal

Make: Breyer
Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Trotting Foal (G2)
Color: Green, Black, Gold Faux-Stone
Gallery: Other Color
Medium: Acrylics
Status: Painted 200? and Sold 200?

This little guy was an Add-a-Foal for Philosophers’ Stone. Painted in the same faux-stone pattern, he actually turned out a lot better than the photos show. Such are the joys of early generation digital cameras! Continue reading →

Cirrus Uncinus

Cirrus Uncinus

Make: Breyer
Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Trotting Foal (G2)
Color: Faux-Charcoal
Gallery: Other Color
Medium: Acrylics
Status: Painted 200? and Sold 200?

This little gal was an Add-a-Foal for custom Saddlebred (Cirrus Spissatus), both of which where done in a faux-charcoal coloring (see reference pic). Since I didn’t have a working airbrush at the time I used pastels to try and mimic the overspray that was found on many of the older Breyer models. Continue reading →

Pouca Nuvem

Pouca Nuvem

Make: Breyer
Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Trotting Foal (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 ‘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 →

Heza Gone Dancing

Heza Gone Dancing

Make: Breyer
Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Trotting Foal (G2)
Color: Buckskin
Gallery: Dilutes
Medium: Acrylics and Pastels
Status: Painted 2007 and Sold April 2007

This little buy was one of my later customs, as you can tell by the backdrop and the heavy pastel usage. I don’t remember if he was an Add-a-Foal or a random custom, but I do like the way he turned out! Buckskins and duns are a thousand times easier to pull off with pastels versus straight acrylics.

Bandit

Make: Breyer
Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Trotting Foal (G2)
Color: Chestnut Tovero (Overo + Tobiano) ((+ Sabino?))
Gallery: Other
Medium: Acrylics
Status: Painted 200? and Sold

This little gal was a custom portrait horse, part of a set of three as I remember, and I think she turned out rather well. There isn’t much shading, but there also isn’t a lot of chestnut, so I think it was a happy compromise between pattern and color. (The photos are yellow-tinged, but I think the white was also just flat painted, without pinking.) Continue reading →

Lucky Charms

Make: Breyer
Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Trotting Foal (G2)
Color: Green Bay
Gallery: Solid Color
Medium: Acrylics
Status: Painted 2001 and Sold Feb 2001

This little guy was done as an Add-a-Foal (back before they were officially named) for Bit o’ Luck. He was one of my earlier customs and boy does it show. Sigh. Continue reading →

Make: Breyer
Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Trotting Foal (G2)
Color: Palomino Splash Overo
Gallery: Overo
Medium: Acrylics
Status: Painted in 200? and Sold 200?

I’m actually pretty pleased with this little Add-a-Foal. While I’d probably tone down the bright white in the mane and tail if I painted her again, overall the model came out pretty darned close to what I had in my head. Continue reading →

Mold: Trotting Foal (G2)
Color: Blue-green Blanket Appaloosa
Gallery: Fantasy Appaloosa
Medium: Acrylics
Status: Painted 200? and Sold 200?

Not a lot to say here. This was an Add-a-Foal, but I can’t remember if it was sold with Neverland Flyboy or ROL Primavera. Hmm… Continue reading →

Unnamed Custom Foal

Unnamed Custom Foal

Make: Breyer
Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Trotting Foal (G2)
Color: Chestnut
Gallery: Chestnut
Medium: Acrylics
Status: Painted 200? and Sold 200?

This little guy was either an Add-a-Foal or a I’m-Really-Sorry-For-The-Delay foal… not sure which.

I did a bunch of Apology Foals whenever custom orders ran long and from my recollection this was one of them. Foals only took me a couple of hours to paint and they made a better impression than offering a partial refund. Continue reading →
