For awhile now I have been wanting to do something about featuring an artist every week. There are SO many wonderful artists in the model horse hobby, and all I want to do pretty much is share some of their work, with links to their social media ,and basically give a shout out to them! Sometimes we all just need a boost and a lil support from others where there are no obligations and just to simply share because we want to. This goes for both to the professional, accomplished studios who have worked hard to achieve their artistry, and to the new and starting out studios, learning and growing with every horse they paint. :) We all are at our own pace and journey with different goals. We can paint for fun or personal enjoyment, or as some who paint as a side hobby or even for a few of us, it is our full time work! But we all think the same : we love to create and we love to paint horses...both in 2D and 3D scale. 

This week's Artist of the Week goes to....Elżbieta Zarzecka of MetalFish Art! 

        I recently discovered this talented Polish artist in the last year or so. Just me discovering her...but she has been around for a long time!  Her work is everything I love about model horse art ~ every detail with the perfect shading and colour with the smoothness of her mediums to create a dynamic, realistic work of ART. I admire our fellow artists across the ocean, and it would be a pleasure to meet Elzbieta in person one day. 

        I sincerely appreciate and enjoy her work in progress photos as she paints her horses. She goes to incredible lengths, and I can see the hours and love that went into each horse. It is a hobby goal of mine to one day own a piece of art by her! 

    To follow her art and work, here are links to view and share! Her website MetalFishArt, her Facebook page ~ MetalFishArt FB, and Instagram, @metalfishart

                                         The DETAIL in this eye is insane. Exceptionally well done. :) 

                                  I LOVED watching the progress of this Leonardo ~ this horse is exceptional.
