Sadly, I'm not able to go to Kentucky this weekend. But I though I'd do a quick post to show you a few of horses I'll be working on.
First up are the two Truffle resins in the photo above. I'm having a lot of fun with the unicorn. His color was inspired by a certain frozen beverage that was all over the internet earlier this year.
I just started painting the leopard appaloosa last night. Right now I'm working on getting the layout of his spots right. With appaloosas, getting the spots right is probably the most important thing. It doesn't matter how nice everything else about the paint job is if the spotting pattern is unrealistic or appears contrived. I see some things on this guy that need changing already, but that's easy enough to do at this stage.
Next is the pulling Shire, whom I've decided to call Boxer, at least for now. He's still a mess, and the gold bead eyes are kind of creepy, but I'm making progress.
Lastly is another new sculpture, which will hopefully start to look more like a Thoroughbred at some point. I'm tentatively calling this one 'Hello Seattle.'
So if you are going to Kentucky this weekend, I hope you have fun, and if you're not going, at least know that you're not alone!
