Sneak Peak of some Newbies

I'm going to get better pictures of these little cuties tomorrow but I couldn't wait to share them with you guys!

They are tiny little Safari minis, a bit steep at a pound each but well worth it. Very cute indeed! I had a bit of a routle through the tubs to choose two nice condition ones.

I really love the unicorn



They were bought from a shop in Covent Garden Market in case anyone wants to get their paws on one!

Bolero

This horse has been nothing but a nightmare. A complete nightmare.

He was meant to be a LOT lighter and a lot more dapply. But because he is an evil destructive creature of doom and hatred he ended having a lot more coats of paint than I ever intended!

Anyway...meet Bolero



He's a buckskin minimal overo, with a beautifully large face marking



Somehow he actually turned out quite nice, not sure how



He's a Schleich Mustang stallion



And he's already sold! Less than 24 hours after he was listed, lucky pony!

Bold O'Donoghue

Having recovered from my coursework related shock I should probably do some work and blog post related updates.

I finished off this girl last night, her pictures really don't show her beautiful colour, it is so much richer (she looks almost black in these).

Anyway meet Bold O'Donoghue



She's a bay tobiano with lots of cat tracks



I think this is my favourite side:



Look at all those spots!



Again I asked for public opinions on ribbon colour, public went for red



Better colour representation



You can almost see her dapples in this picture



Dapply dapply!



Anyway, because she does have a flaw (well probably has more than one) I've listed her as an eBay auction rather than a straight sale. If she doesn't sell she'll go on BIN and on the website, but we'll see. I've also given her a pretty low price because of it. You can find her Auction here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361571636410?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649



It's so rare I paint something that I'm happy with and I am delighted with her. So yay go me!

Bohemian Rhapsody

Well after many Instagram posts and a bit of crowd source polo wrap colour choice I finally finished this girl off last night.

I wasn't too sure about the colour at first but I think it works. She has turned out rather nice.



She is a Schleich Hanovarian mare and has been painted to a light bay minimal tobiano.



After asking for public opinions it was agreed that her wraps should be blue...



I did think of making her mane tape blue as well but decided that contrasting would work better. So on the black mane it is white and on the two white plaits it is black.



She is (of course) for sale, a snip at just £19.99



You can check out her listing here: http://www.chestnutridge.co.uk/bohemian-rhapsody-36928-p.asp
