Updates Finally!

Well, apparently I got a little carried away with actually working and forgot to update this blog in...*gulp* a while. Although I can promise you that I have been diligently working away in the studio to produce some promising things and sending some rather happy painted ponies home to their patient owners. I have been playing with the Apoxie Sculpt a lot too, which is really making that artistic brain WHIR!! Anyway..here are some long overdue pictures.

First up at the top is my very own personal Stormwatch resin by the incomperable Sarah Minkiewicz! He is amazing to paint and is very much a work in progress in the picture. I am going to be taking my time with him and really playing with some new techniques and effects. Since he is mine, I don't have to worry about any deadlines. He is going to be a sooty buckskin color and he will be all scarred up from living his rather rough life. I really have a soft spot for Sarah's sculptures. He is all pastel BABY! Well.. his details will be in acrylic.


Now this is a buckskin overo John Henry medallion by Mel Miller. I have been itching to paint an overo for a while now so this guy was the perfect victim! I really like how he is turning out but I am having some issues with the background. If anyone one has any suggestions feel free to post! Pastel and Acrylic

Ok, so I have been itching to paint a dark grey too. This is all thanks to a local Canuck, Tammy's gorgeous dark grey Valor resin. I fell in love and the color wouldn't get out of my head. I am really liking how this is turning out too, just wait for those dapples! Mmmm! He may be for sale when finished. All pastel pigment.

This is a Lynn Fraley Netsky resin. She is an adorable little pony. I have painted her up in pastels and acrylic to a nice bay leopard appaloosa. She was quite the treat to paint and will be going home to her new Mommy rather soon.

This gentle soul is a special treat for Deb Buckler of Resins by Randy. He is a nice pangare bay on Janet Edington's Rembrandt resin. He is mostly pastels with a little acrylic used for details. What a handsome sucker he is!!

Now this little guy may be small, but he is VERY special. He was sold to benefit The International Blessed Broodmare Project or TIBBP http://www.theinternationalblessedbroodmareproject.com/ . His name is Lover Boy and he is a glowing bay sabino clydesdale that will soon be going to a few shows to earn some points to his name and then back to his new mom! I have really enjoyed being able to use my talent to the benefit of real horses in need. This is my second donation to the cause and I couldn't be more humbled by it. The first donation was a Mini Haggis resin by Kitty Cantrell customized to a Mare with flowing mane and tail in a similar color to this guy but also VERY unique. This handsome lad is customized by Deb Buckler.

Again, Sarah's work at work. This fiesty little ball of fire put up quite a fight about his color. First he wanted to be grulla, then dun and finally bay roan with scarring. Looks like he has had his fair share of battles but has some out full of attitude! This spunky boy recently went to his home in Calgary, Alberta with Twyla! Congrats! He is also a mostly pastel pony with acrylic detailing.

Slightly customized from the Lonesome Glory Breyer Mold, this is a portrait model for Michelle. He has a new mane, tweaked face, fleshed out body and of course a new coat! This yummy chestnut is done in oils with acrylic details. Handsome no?

So I have been hard at work and there is much more to post!! I will spread it out over the next little while so that I don't completely overwhelm everyone. hehe. I have some more ponies that have gone home recently and some customs in progress.... stay tuned!
