April Snow Brings.... APRIL PROGRESS

Well, since spring has not quite sprung yet I have been taking advantage of my time inside. I was sent a few items to paint for donations to Lethbridge Live, which is an Alberta show coming in July. Two of the items were these spectacular arabian medallions by Mel Miller that I had never seen before. They were a blast to paint up and I got to try out some new fleabit tehniques. I really surprised myself by getting these two done in just two days! Well, here they are.


Up next is the completed Lover Boy donation to TIBBP. I am just full of donations lately. Haha. This boy is just as hard to give up as his sister Love Potion #9....the Haggina I painted for TIBBP. I really need to paint something in this yummy shade of bay for myself. I am really proud of myself for how he came out. As you can see, his color is similar to the medallion above as well, I think I found my new muse. He already has a happy home. :) Please enjoy his glowing bay handsomeness! I have decided I have to do an appaloosa in this color...and a tobiano...and an overo. HAHA!


Hopefully I don't jinx myself by showing her off...but this is a Mini Scarlett resin for Maddie H. I have painted her 4 times so far....and this time really took some effort to make her look so good. Everything from random spots on her finishwork to black hairs to just funky undertones haunted this gal. She should be called Fairlight Jinx instead of Sandra D. Yikes. But anyway, I really like how she is working out and I adore her facial marking. I tinkered with some Earth pigment samples on her legs and face and decided I have to invest in the Titanium white. It is amazing.


I love spots. 'nuff said. I have a horrible addiciton to appaloosas and most of the represenations of leopard appies out there make me very sad inside. I am very picky about my appies as my great grandfather raised them and I love their color! This body is the Hagen Renaker Quarter Horse, new to their line for this year. This guy had some goobers in his glaze so he makes a great appy now! far from done but the pattern is mostly blocked out on this side. The little guy is the Hagen Renaker Mustang Foal that needs some touchups done, but will most likely be for sale.
Lastly, a little Gaiety foal that I am using as a tester for my Earth Pigment testers. Will be baby bay.
