Lambert

Whoa... its been a while since I've posted! Sorry for the radio silence over here... its been a whirlwind of a spring. With the warm weather comes lots of spring projects, both model horse, real horse, and house related. It gets so busy so fast!

Not to mention that this season I became completely owned by American Idol. Actually, it wasn't so much the show, as it was one particular individual... Adam Lambert. I have never been so struck by a performer in all my life. He is quite possibly the most talented artist to ever grace the AI stage, and I get such a kick out of how he has totally wrapped the media (and american public) around his finger. Myself included, of course. sigh.... I would absolutely die to be able to meet him in person.

Anyway, back to model horse matters. I am so thrilled to get such an awesome response to my NAN Auction donation!! For those going to NAN you'll get to see him in person, which is even better since the pics I have of him don't really do him any justice. I hope he sells well and makes his new owner really happy. :-) I've been browsing the auction page this year and am amazed at what COOL stuff is up there... I have already been saving my pennies so I can bid on a lot or two. If you haven't checked it out, I really recommend it!!

Beyond finishing up odds and ends and starting some new horses, I have been working on some very special projects. I posted this to my group, but get to share pics here, hehe! I have been asked to do a guest artist piece of Stacey Tumlinson's re-release of Hilary's Ravenhill. I am TOTALLY stoked about it, since I loved the original Ravenhill and this new guy has the same feel but with a little different personality. My guest artist piece is a bit of a twist since he is Buyer's Choice, and he will be the ONLY buyer's choice piece offered. The details of that were posted to the group, so if you are interested in him then check that out there.

Stacey sent me a copy to paint to prepare for the GA piece, and this handsome fellow was the result. I have not named him yet, but his 'barn name' is going to be Lambert. He's all about glitz, flash and glamour... and has those piercing blue eyes... what else could I name him? LOL! He is going into my own collection. Its so rare that I get to keep a piece, I can't wait to stick him in my curio.

Here are some pics of him. If you are interested in bidding on the GA piece, which can be ANY color (including something similar to this if you'd like!), you can email Stacey directly at tabasco2@dishmail.net.

Beautiful face and eye shading on this one! He's a real looker. I'm looking forward to reading your article in the new RESS tech bulletin, also ;-)
