I've been planning to make a blog for some time now, but I didn't really plan to do it now, grin! Oh well.. Hi!
Welcome to Caraway Studios - a rather big name for a model horse hobbyist who collects too many artist resins and will never be able to paint them all in oils and mixed media ;) Are you familiar with this hobby? It started in the USA, where people showed their plastic Breyer horses and customized them. Since then it's grown into an international hobby with a broad range, from tiny plastic horses to big sculptures made from artist resin or china. The one thing that we all share is a love of horses, obviously.
This week is a special one, because for the first time I've sold one of my artist resins - a traditional sized Arab stallion sculpted by the mind-bogglingly talented Brigitte Eberl from Germany. He was one of the first artist resins that I dared to try my painting on - I like a challenge ;) Although he almost seemed to paint himself, he's so photogenic. He's shown above. He's going to a good home, but I'll miss him.
