Happy Holidays!

This dapple grey Lucius, sculpted by Emilia Kurila, is fresh out of the studio and belongs to Michele Brown, USA (commission). I am painting another copy, a bay going grey, and that one will be offered for sale in the new year.

That's one thing to look forward to in 2020, but there is more! Willem the draft will return, Lola will be joined by her brother, and collectors of 1:9 scale horses will not be forgotten. :)

But for now; Happy Holidays everyone! Wishing you a comfy and cozy Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year!

Atelier Josine Vingerling will be closed from December 23 to January 3.

Inga in buckskin

Just finished: Inga in sooty buckskin (commission). This very dynamic and unique resin was sculpted by Brigitte Eberl. Owned by Rebecca Jollymore, Canada.

Aww, Lola has a brother!

A brother in progress, I mean. :)

Encanto photos

 

Ever since I made my first curio scale Iberian, Faran, my dream was to create a similar sculpture in traditional scale. For some reason, this turned out to be the most difficult thing I’ve ever tried. I started the armature in 2012, worked on the sculpture off and on, but it wasn't until the beginning of this year that things finally started to 'click'. And here he is, exactly as I envisioned him to be: Encanto!

Limited to 100 pieces + artist’s copies. Sales info coming soon!

The fifth sister

Ever wondered what the cobra mares seem to be looking for in the distance? Their fifth sister!

Preciosa, sculpted by Brigitte Eberl. She is on her way to join her four famous sisters.

They (and their owner) are looking forward to the family reunion.

"Lady Joe"

Photos and finishwork by Joyce Savage

Joyce Savage just finished painting her Miss Lizzie, and made my day by sharing the result. Joyce: "She is a portrait of a paint gelding I owned as a teenager. His name was Gentleman Joe so I named my Lizzie Lady Joe. I just love her."

Thank you so much Joyce, I love seeing my sculptures come to life like this!

 *Please note, Miss Lizzie's edition will close on 30 September 2019.*

Encanto: sneak peek!

Standing PRE stallion, traditional scale. Like my curio scale Iberians, but big! :)
And of course he has his own personality. Pre-orders available soon.

Gorgeous grey Gabriel

Photo and finishwork by Jaime Castleman

Proud owner Anne Hudson just shared this pic with me, isn't he beautiful? It's my little Friesian sculpture Gabriel, painted by Jaime Castleman to a bay going grey.

If you are interested in acquiring an unpainted copy of Gabriel, email me. I have one copy left. ;)

More Miss Lizzies

My own personal copy of Lizzie, painted by the amazing Caroline Boydston!

And a wonderful splash pinto by Angelica Nelson (Elk Horn Stables Studios), with a custom short mane by Tempestwind Studio.

Lizzie painted by Mindy Berg

Have you seen this amazing appy Miss Lizzie by Mindy Berg? I just had to share these pics here too. :)

Instead of completely closing the edition this month, on June 30 only the 6 month time payment option will disappear. This means you can still order Miss Lizzie throughout the summer! Until my next sculpture becomes available.
