Update + Namopaintmo!

February has been a rough month in more than a few ways. It's just been super busy and stuff has happened.

The main thing was my dog went In For Training. For those that don't know, my family raises and trains Guide Dogs and PTSD dogs. We keep them for about a year then they go back to the guide dog school for advanced training. This dog, named Captain Hero (or just Cap) was mine and my responsibility to train. Boy, he's been a challenge... but I'm gonna miss him so much. We bonded so quickly, I'm getting emontional just writing this.

Me being awkward as usual but bye bye Cap! Be a good boy!

Of course I know he's off to do great things, but I needed a bit of a break. <3 However, I'm still here and I've done quite a bit in the process!

First up I completed my Namopaintmo horse! If you don't know what it is it is a challenge by Jennifer Buxton of Braymere Custom Saddlery to paint a horse in one month.

My official horse was this Breyer merrylegs, and I wanted to paint him to look like Lil Sebastian from Parks and Rec.

I tried a totally new technique and only used a brush. No pastels, no airbrush, just a brush!

He turned out really nice IMO. Not LSQ by far... but still cute! :) 

I also completed the first of many horses for a big commision and started two more!

This one has had more progress made, this is just the very base coat. I've stripped her 3 times so far... not gonna do it again! Some horses just don't like me.

Thanks for sticking with me all, stay tuned for more! I'll also be posting a TCAAJ exclusive post this week. :)
