Happy Valentines Day!

Yea, a day late (for me, not for you Americans though!), but better
late than never!! Was meaning to post this yesterday, but never got
round to getting online!
Happy Valentines Day everyone, from everyone down yonder at Kismet Lodge (and Blue Moon Stables, haven't decided which to keep now...yea, silly decisions decisions decisions!)!!

Old Time Paintings

After doing art last year and ending up with it endorsed with Merit (so
annoyed about the first project we did, if that was Excellence, my art
would have been endorsed with Excellence!!) and my love for painting
etc I am doing art again this year. To start off with we needed to
choose 4 different 'artist models', basically 4 artists with different
techniques. One of the ones I chose is George Stubbs. His art is really
neat I think, I love the way he does horses, some of them are not
overly 'conformationally correct', but they are, as I said, really
neat!

This one is on a poster in my form room at school. Love the colour of this horse, and always meant to get a pic,

but have never managed too.

Eclipse

Hambletonian - this is the picture I chose to use.

And yep, this is a 'Wordless Wednesday' post on Thursday!!

Name Sake

Well, almost!! I was looking through a breed book I got from the library in town and when I came to this page

I saw this horse...
And look at the name on the halter!!

Ok, so the nameplate actually says 'KISHMET' but it's close enough right?!! All that needs to be done is take out the H!

PS, I know this post is tagged 'Wordless Wednesday', but think of it as 'Wordless Wednesday on Friday' :P

Wordless Wednesday

On a friday...yup! I really don't have much to talk about today. We
have finished school for the year (well, the little ones are still
going, right up until almost christmas), they call it 'Study Leave' but
finishing on Wednesday with my first exam on Monday, it's not much of a
study leave really.
But the days are warming up, today is pretty hot, which also means I
get to ride alot more!!! And maybe finally convince mum to get me that
horse! Still need to figure out how I am going to ask the neighbour if
I can use the paddock behind my house...
In modelly news, I have this wee guy I have been working on on and off
for awhile now...he's getting closer to what I want. I think I will
just put another layer or so on the other side(which seems to have
fallen behind somehow!) and then darken up his legs, then he'll just
need all his acrylic details.
