My Customs: Almost a Month

It has been almost a month since my last blog post. How cringeworthy! Meanwhile, I have been working on several customs. All of them have been traditionals.

These first four are all from the same customer. The custom Brunello and the Dark Bay Idocus with four socks don't have their final gloss coats in the pictures. Unfortunately, I forgot to take final pictures before sending them off.





The foal is still "under construction" at the moment. She still requires a couple of back socks and a blaze. I will try to get final pictures for her.

I also finished a Silver Dapple PAM

And a small Bay Lying Foal


As well as a custom Shagya Arabian

I feel very productive. That's seven customs in less than a year. They aren't LSQ but I am learning. For example, I learned that if I sprayed every layer of my white paint (just as I spray every layer of pastels) with a matte spray, it doesn't collect the dust. I feel like Columbus discovering America all over again.

An Odd Horse Color

Image
I just recently received a new order for a custom, and this is the picture I received: I took a look at the picture and had the typical thought process of, "What a pretty horse. Plain, simple bay. That will be easy enough. Silly guy has clearly been laying down, look at all that dust [I realized my mistake later]! What a nice barn... etc." And the the detail pictures started rolling in and I got the shock and thrill of my life. What a fun custom to do! And what a strange color. As her o wner says, " I like to say she’s part zebra."  Yes, I would say that is accurate... Look at those legs! Part Okapi might be more accurate. And look at that back! Does this count as counter-shading? The colors doesn't stop there. It also extends to her front legs... And her brightly colored face. Thank you C for letting me post these pictures on my blog! Your mare is stunning and I look forward to getting started on her!

Aaaaand, once again...

 I have a huge gap between my blog posts.  I haven't finished many customs. I did just recently finish a roan that I will have to post soon. She has been my best custom yet.  That being said, this is going to be a short blog post... and relatively pictureless. I only really have a couple of things to say at the moment. One, I have a new Instagram account! You can find me under @wyomingartworkcustoms Second, I bought a new camera! It is a Canon Rebel T6. It was pricey but I think it will be worth it. Finally, I received my first every physical ribbon for a model horse! It was for a photo show, but I am pleased. It figures that out of all of my horses, the placer had to be Phoenix. She is one of the horses that I really hesitate about on my shelf. I waver between keeping her and selling her. Well, we'll see if she continues to perform for me. That's it! Like I said, this was gonna be short!

More Customs...

 Once again, I put months in between blog posts. Well, at least that is a lot of updates of the portrait horses I've painted. But first, here is a new resin I recently bought to add to the shelf herd. She will be painted dappled grey. I also just recently traded my Beachcomber, Constellation, and Padron's Psyche away for this guy. He is OOAK and worth at least $250. Not to mention the fact that he is LSQ. Now, enough of this. Back to my customs that I have recently finished. Trip is finally done. She took forever, and was finished with over 50,000 individual hairs. Her owner was very pleased with the portrait. I also finished Jewel. She too was a hard one, as she was my first white grey. I am also working on an SCO and Giselle. The SCO will soon be done. Giselle is not quite as close to being done. Three more ponies are also getting their finishing coats of gloss, and will soon (haha) be posted here.
