Oil spots

Now that my commissions are winding down I am able to experiment on my own pieces again. This Wintersong was base coated in airbrush and I have finished his coat in oils and am adding pinto markings with cat tracks to make this nifty tovero pattern. Looking out my window reminds me of his color right now with the snow we have and brown patches of leaves and earth peeking through.

HIs mane and tail will be cool multi colored and he'll have some ermine spots stread through his feathers. He'll be for sale soon so stay tuned. I'll post him to the yahoogroup so members can have the first crack at him.

A lovely going to be palomino Jezebel in oils who will also be a tobiano when she is done.

My flat work has primarily been in oils so I'm enjoying the familiarity and love the ability to change and blend colors on the fly. But I miss the speed of airbrush, so I'll be using airbrush to do the base color and then build oils over that.

One of my projects I mentioned before is a medallion series of horses with their heads out of ther stall doors. I love barns and have seen and photographed some amazing places over the years. This first piece in the series is a horse with his head out of his stall door of a stone barn with rough cut lumber beams, headers, frames and doors.

So these are a few of the things I'm working on when I'm not working on commissions.

Finished commissions that left here recently are 2 Appaloosa Lancelot resins. So different in their patterns:

Well, that's that for now.
