A new sculpture

This new sculpture was inspired by a friends photo of their new foal. She was still struggling with the concept of where to put those long legs. I have made the foal a few weeks older. This is the second in a series I'll be creating of sculptures depicting foals in their discovery and solving life's puzzles. They will be at the curious age of couple months old when really start finding things to do.

I'll start this by showing how the sculpture is built. The first photo shows the clay being applied to the armature.

Jake in Resin

Jake has taken on another form, Resin. With the help of my creative partner, Miles Anderson, we have made a resin form of Jake. I’ve started painting them today. This is an experiment too. They started out just being painted from a base color but I’m finding the paint adheres better with a primer coat of gesso. It is still an art piece and not a toy. They are a bit fragile.
Jake in resin comes in bay, sorrel, grey, buckskin, palomino there are so many horse colors. Of course there’s a variety of white socks, blazes, and stars. I would be glad to paint one to match your favorite horse! Bring your photos in to the studio or send me enough photo reference to work from.
Like the bronze, a portion of the proceeds will go to Montana Horse Sanctuary.
All the Jakes will accompany me to the Western Heritage Art Show at the Holiday Inn, March 16-20 for Western Art Week. Hope to see you there!
