I always try to design each red horse differently than the last one. Even when I'm using the same colors and brush strokes.
As you can imagine there are parts of these that I like better than others. These are the miniature horses so there is only so much detail that I can get on them.
On a full size ornament or larger horse you could expand on the design by adding more rows of comma strokes around the saddle and mane or more layers of colors in the dots across the chest and belly areas.
I finish these off with a screw eye and a piece of gold cord to hang them with.
I've still got one dozen unfinished wood blanks to carve and turn into more ornaments. Will I be able to come up with a dozen different designs to paint them with? Keep following this Blog and find out and as always, Keep painting and discover your own creative spirit.
