I've been painting away in the studio. Here is the NAN donation, I have toned down the yellow quite a bit
It's funny, the Classic Arab Foal used to be my least favorite model when I was a kid, but now I think it's adorable. I wasn't sure what sex this model was supposed to be, so I made it into a colt. He will be bay.
This Seabiscuit will be a buckskin overo of some sort.
I cringe at showing this Shire, he's really in the ugly stage right now. The dapples will not remain like that, I was just covering space with an appropriate tone.
I also worked on Tang, the Pixie model, but I forgot to take pictures of that one. Still working on the roan ASB, and may be able to start the mini-Caprice and a dinky Duke this week.I don't know if anyone is interested, but I also paint still life paintings and recently finished one, I thought you might like to see it:

Thanks! The painting is done in oils, took me about a month. I have really been working hard on my oil painting, but at the expense of any sculpting. I'm definitely more of a painter than a sculptor in every way :-)
I used to ride when I was a kid, the last time I rode was about three years ago when I visited my cousin and rode her little Arab mare (she's only about 14.1 hands high!) That would be awesome to go riding with you, as long as we don't go too fast LOL! I still have my helmet from the old days, too ;-)
Carol, I LOVE that CAF! If the planets align correctly when you have him done and (hopefully!) for sale, I hope I can try for him! I have more than twenty of him in his OF version - my only "conga". I'm surprised I don't have any customs yet!
PS - my Hazel by you cleaned up this weekend, pictures coming tomorrow! She's NAN qualified now in halter, workmanship, western and english! :-D
