What am I working on today?

I am getting ready to deliver horses to their owners at Peter's Stone's RMR this weekend. Grand Lake here I come! I can hardly wait. So this busy beaver has been working horse to get the finishing touches on her horses so they can show and go home hopefully with some ribbons.

I figured I'd take a quick shot of what I have done. Starting on the far left is Ocktapussy (heaven knows if I spelled it right). She's a dapple buckskin that had the lower part of her mane removed so she's tack friendly. BIG NOTE to anyone wanting to use her for performance.... she won't fit a saddle unless you re do that part of her mane. I found that out after I painted her.

Behind her (far back) is the Ravenhill I am working on as a guest artist piece for Stacey. He's a wild and wonderful roan Appaloosa and sure to please anyone who is a stickler for detail. I hope to get him off to Stacey next week.

Far right is the latest Stormwatch I have done. He's a dapple rose gray who gets better the closer you look at him. I put a ton of complicated shading and fine detail on this guy. I'll be takig some good photos of him shortly so I can put him up at auction.

Front left is the silver dapple mini Peasant Stomper (long tail version) that I just finished up. Although I was offering him for sale, someone already came forward and he's sold. He's just amazing and sure to please his new owner. I spent a lot of time shading the mane and tail so he has all major root colors blended throughout. Making that fade to white wasn't easy but I finally got the look I wanted. His dapples are really beautiful with 3 different shades well blended all over him. I LOVE this little hunk!

Next to him is JM's bay Tobiano Gypsy Scarlett. She's going to be proxy shown along with some of his others. I think Piper will even be there! It would be great to see one of my all time favorite's there.

To end the list is the mini Ravenhill with his custom mane and tail. He's a palomino Appaloosa and yes he's similar to Hollywood Silver, but only similar. This will probably be the only show he attends since his new owner doesn't show. Wish him luck!

On the bench is an Appie mule I have painter's block on, bay sabino mini Scarlett for the upcoming Region 4 show, the mule medallion guest artist piece, a CM Andalusion (donation paint job), Meta's duo, Xtara (she is taking awhile being a very intricate dapple gray), ......

and I have a rose gray mini Scarlett that will be for sale. She's about 1/3 done.

So I will be away this weekend at Grand Lake Colorado enjoying the show. See some of you there and the rest of ya later! Have a great weekend!!!!!!!!!!!
