Medium: Liquitex Artist’s Color Acrylics (Gesso, Ivory Black, Burnt Sienna, Raw Sienna, Yellow Oxide) and Sargent Art Chalk Pastels (Earthtone)
Status: Sculpted 2005ish and painted February 2013 and For Sale

This little guy is pulling off the impossible– strutting through the mud without picking up dirt! …but only because I ran out of train grass. *sighs*

The new owner gets to choose if they want to keep the mud, have me hunt up from train grass to finish it off, or go with a sandy vista instead. (I couldn’t make up my mind, so I figure I’d pass it off as an ‘added feature’.) Continue reading →

Status: Painted March 2013 and For Sale

This little gal has been waiting far too long in the 2005-era body box and I figure it was time to finally finish her up! (Plus I realized I hadn’t painted a non-Fantasy horse in quite some time and maybe I should break that habit.) Continue reading →

This little gal has been a long time coming… as in almost a year’s wait. Which is pretty sad considering she was an apology horse painted because of shipping problems with one of the stablemates. *sighs* Continue reading →

Gallery: Tobiano
Medium: Liquitex Artist’s Color Acrylics (Ivory Black, Gesso, Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna, Yellow Oxide, Light Portrait Pink), Sargent Art Chalk Pastels (Earthtone)
Status: Painted April 2012 and FOR SALE

Newton’s Laws of Motion dictate that a body at rest tends to stay at rest—and he wasn’t kidding! This little gal sat half-finished on my workbench for almost two months before she finally got going again. Not as impressive as the seven year hibernation of most of my body box, but certainly longer than anticipated! Continue reading →

Status: Painted 2010 and For Sale

This little guy has been hanging out at the back of my shelf for well over a year now. He was the first horse I painted when I started to get back into the hobby in 2010 and my very first stab at a realistic Mini Whinnie! Continue reading →

D’Lembrança means Of Memory in Portuguese and she’s one of the few fully prepped bodies pulled from my old body box. It’s amazing how well gesso holds up over the years! Continue reading →

Poptop may have beat this little guy through the finish gate, but Kings is the first Third Generation mold that I’ve finished to date (as the Druid Horse is still a WiP). Continue reading →

Mold: Paso Fino (G2)
Color: Black Tobiano
Gallery: Tobaino
Medium: Acrylics
Status: Painted 200? and Sold 200?

This little guy is a portrait of Jet’s Chief Keno owned by Sherry Foxworth of Rocking S Farm. He was one of the last portrait horses that I painted and the one I’m proudest of. He’s the best match so far from horse to model, although he wasn’t quite as complicated as Sierra. Continue reading →
