I gave up the model work when I started to need reading glasses. I wasn't up to the detailing and the concentrated hours tweaked by body too. It was a lot of fun for the time that I did it. Now I am planning to get back in the studio this fall. I think that I'll be doing printmaking and oils on panel. I'm looking forward to it! :) Thank you, Lisa.

You really are wonderful with your hands - It must be very fun for you to create such beautiful things. I loved these models when I was a kid – and I still get a warm feeling when I see them.

Thanks for posting his photos. :) You are right, I didn't include all that I had painted. I just picked out a few that I had good macro pics of. Hey, cool! Thanks for posting his photos. :)

And my body got tweaked from hunching over models, squinting at single hair brush strokes. It was fun, but can get a bit obsessive. ;) I do like the idea of going back to the sculpting end, but I'm not sure that it will be for the hobby. I would rather not have to be constrained by the details, but work more expressively. I have two sculptures in progress that have been sitting around for years....

I think you need to start a Surprise Saturday for us so the layers of beautiful you can unfold all in their own grace and glory. I am blown away. Of course, Lonesome Glory is my favorite. What a gorgeous bay mare (who does not eat or have a vet bill). Again, you have shocked me! Your talents abound. (Yes, I am plotting even more heavily than ever on how to create a situation where you can flourish - physically, spiritually, mentally, and financially - with your art. The world, not to mention you, misses so much when you cannot work more on your art. So we will get Lily up here ... then Vinnie. Baron is roofing the longhouse for the SMR meeting, and then we will finish it for an art studio (my original plan). You can live in the yurt, work on your art, play with your ponies ... your family will come, too. Promise. I had no idea you sculpted and painted model horses, also, Simrat.

There is a whole model horse showing world that is all about accuracry in miniature, including tack and performance setups with props like jumps and cattle. It can be a lot of fun! And these horses don't need to be fed. They also don't end up with vet bills. ;) Some people do it as a business.

I painted them and did some resculpting on some. Basically taking a Breyer plastic model, cutting it up and putting it back together in a different position, while sculpting some new parts.
