Uninspired

These last few weeks I have been uninspired to do anything, hence the lack of posting.  I am finding it so hard to pick up the paint brush or the epoxy sculpt. I hope this will blow over but for now I would do anything other then sit in my studio chair...

So here are photos from when I took my friend trail riding, for her Birthday last week. A beautiful place called Glenworth Valley, but I must say there tack is not the best... cheap plastic one size fits all bridles.

My friend & her horse Arthur.

Barbara (I dont know who names a horse Barbara)

Me & my horse Barbara. 

Trail riding with Emus  

On with his head!

I have been spending some time on my ISH. This being my first traditional custom I don't want to go too crazy, so he will have to stay in the standing position. With that in mind I have the perfect idea, I think my boy is telling me he want to be in a western halter pose.

Working out the length of the wire. 

My reference photo.

 

This is what I'm aiming for, done in photoshop. I might bring his head forward more so its more like my reference.
