New Arabian

I'm excited to finally be able to post about a finished horse!  I worked on this one for what seemed like weeks and weeks.  Traditional scale horses are always a joy to paint because you can really get in there and detail them, but for me I get carried away and spend hours and hours trying to get each thing perfect and on a Traditional piece it ends up taking a ton of time. Minis can be even tougher, don't get me wrong, however this particular piece I hand painted nearly everything using tiny hairs and so she was rather time consuming.


Without further ado here's a Zahara resin by Stacey Tumlinson. Finish and Custom Work by myself, DeeAnn Kjelshus:

You could say I've been on a grey kick lately. I've been trying to perfect my technique.  Of course perfection is never achieved, but I hope that I improve each time.  She was a lot of fun to create. She was customized with a brand new tail, and her mane and neck have been customized as well. I brought the mane back off her neck showing off her graceful curves.  

Initially I tried to sell her unpainted. I'm always afraid to paint them because too often I become attached and then they never leave my cabinet. lol!  This time I'm offering her for sale right away so I don't become attached.
