Fun new mini Nahar in the works

Commissions have been swimming along at quite a nice pace lately, so in between their layers of paint and primer drying I've been working on a horse for me, who will eventually be for sale. I am really excited to share this mini Nahar, as his paintjob is based on (but not exactly copied from - I tried something a little different on the belly) a horse I met a couple years ago at the Equine Affaire and have been wanting to paint ever since! Click here to see Magnum Spatz.

I am experimenting on this one, too - doing his markings in oils instead of acrylics. It's a big slower going, but it actually feels like it may take fewer layers than acrylics, and blending the pink muzzle will be a snap! The pictures are a little grainy, and yes, his tail definitely needs some more work! He also will have a lot of Bend'Or spots (you can sort of see them in the pictures of the real horse).
