Someday’s Child (Custom Breyer Stablemate Quarter Horse)
“Monday’s child is fair of face,Tuesday’s child is full of grace…” Someday is one of a pair of doodle horses I started back in 2005(?) and was unable to finish because I couldn’t match the doodle paint color. Yet another reason to regret throwing out all that paint when I was cleaning house… *sighs* And…

Irish Ayes (Custom Breyer Stablemate Quarter Horse)
He’s a pretty basic green-bay, but most of the dark markings are phthalocyanine green and not black, just like Finnegan’s Wake (although he was painted later). I think the green on green works better than the green on black, but it’s a color combination I’m looking forward to playing with again! I am 99% sure…

Pumpkin King (Custom Breyer Stablemate Quarter Horse)
King is a pretty straightforward custom, with no shadings in the coat or intricate details to the pattern. He does have realistic eyes and the normal carves ears and hooves, but nothing extra. Sometimes simple is best! I do like this color pattern—maybe I’ll try it again next year, only with a little more flair.…

Smokey’s Shadow (Custom Breyer Stablemate Quarter Horse)
Not a whole lot else to say about this little guy– he’s pretty straightforward when it comes to customs. I was tempted not to check the resculpt box on this little guy, since there was no epoxy involved, but technically he has been altered from the original mold.

Silver Dollar (Custom Breyer Stablemate Quarter Horse)
He has some minimal tobiano markings on his shoulder and neck (some of which are lost in the glare) and a nice splat of overo on his face. Two blue eyes and realistic tan hooves round out the package, which looks infinitely better in real life. Sigh. The old photos aren’t on Holly II so…

This little guy was gone towards the end of my customizing run, as you can tell by the background and headshot. I’d started working heavily with the pastels at this point, both Golden and Round Tuit were attempts at…

Umber Midnight (Custom Breyer Stablemate Quarter Horse)
I very rarely paint plain black horses, outside of custom orders, so this was my stab at getting the color in hand. I was trying my best to stay away from the dreaded ‘flat black’ color, since it’s not very realistic. Thus I read up as much as I could from other customizers before I…

Fragaria Glaze (Custom Breyer Stablemate Quarter Horse)
Why I didn’t just call him Strawberry Glaze, I have no idea. Fragaria is the genus name for strawberries, so I’m assuming I was feeling overly literate when I named him. He was actually a bit of a pain to paint, since the red didn’t cover the black as well as I had hoped it…
