I have three new horses I have been working on for over a week.
Actually, it is more like three new horses that are sitting here because this week is so crazy!
I did a lot of leg movements and am interested to see how they translate once painted:
Full O' Beans:
This bucking horse has a more detailed mane and tail than the first. She has her head cocked the opposite way so they can each be facing each other. I also bent her left rear leg by slicing a wedge out of it and regluing it bent.
I am thinking of doing her as a red and white overo paint. They have kind of a cool old west look.
Wind Dance:
What I did here was lift the bent front leg so she is more like in a spanish walk pose (she has to be on a metal serface to stand) and then turn her tail around and add clay to the tail and mane.
I kind of wanted her to have a tennesee walking horse tail but it didn't really come out that way.
Don't know what color I want to paint her.

This pony is going to be a light, dapple gray.... kind of like an andalusian. Her mane and tail have lots of curls. I wish her mane was longer but when I was sculpint, it just kept looking so goofy longer that I finally pulled it off and just went with curls on the existing mane. (I actually went to highschool with a gal by this name. Isn't it pretty?)
It is raining and the baby camels are finally doing really well so I think I will paint today!
Any ideas on Wind Dance's color.... feel free to inteject!
Stay warm..
