Finally back on track (I hope!) This Artist of the Week is....Elizabeth Halperin! 
Elizabeth is nothing short of talented. I seriously am always mind blown by her creativity and dedication to being realistic. (and perfect, because we artists are our own worst critics) I remember when she first came out creating, and was taking the drastic resculpting world by a storm. She's still a storm, but a good one that I want to see keep booming. I appreciate seeing the enthusiasm for drastics and seeing their place in the world of model horses. Its not just that they are drastic, but she has an eye for bringing out the best elements and poses in the sculpts she creates. I really like how she sculpt wrinkles. I'm a weirdo maybe in this aspect, but good wrinkles and hair flow is quite exceptional for me. 😂
And she can PAINT. Her painting skills go hand in hand, and its great to see how good she is with bright, well toned colour. Her micro work is to die for.... so very lovely. Her eagerness to try and experiment is infectious with many of us, and its a great play off in the community. But I always know when I see her work, before reading anything. The last pony in the series of photos is MINE, and he is nearly finished being painted. I'm so excited to share soon! XD 

Please take a look at her Instagram and give a follow if you haven't already! Watch for her sales pieces and newest sculpts that she paints. Its always a treat to see! 

Thanks for bearing with me, and don't forget to subscribe for future Artist of the Week features!

Hello hello. Hope everyone made it through their Monday! I've had a time of it lately with motivation in the studio. I always go by my mother's quote "An effort a day keeps failure away."  But its a time where I can't push myself. Just focus on little things in the studio like "Sculpt just a muzzle on the commission." Just get the magnets in on one drastic project, as its been waiting awhile. Just paint a layer on one or two of the mini resins in house. Why not start painting a medallion that will be in the Breyerfest sale? (Ooops...;)  Little by little motivation happens and as you think about things, suddenly its not so hard to just sit down and work with your hands. It can be tough when a hobby turns into something else, but you have to keep the joy within it, otherwise there is no point in continuing. So its important to take breaks. I get overwhelmed easily, especially since it is my very first Breyerfest with the studio participating, and all the p...

  *photo credit to Janilyn Kooy*  Friends! Last night was a special moment for me. It became official that a dream I have had since a little girl was to come true ~ to have a pony of my very own. Chance, aka LadyLuck Hero, is now part of the family. 💕 Its one thing to work with horses and ponies (and long ears) that belong to others when their owners are generous and kind to share. It was as close as I could get, and I learned a ton of what goes on in horse life that way. I've ridden many different horses and handled and pet many more, and I was happy with that. I still have two very specific horses I am very attached to in the way of sentimental value. 💜 God provides, and I knew my time would come one day. But it didn't stop me from always praying for a pony for my own.  Fast forward those years and times and many prayers. Last spring a friend and neighbour had a gorgeous Canadian mare, and she was not sure if the mare was pregnant or not. Well it turned out the mare w...

  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...
