OF china Fausto wins big

Good news from the clinky frontlines: this beautiful fine bone china Fausto has won Grand Champion OF China!

Kathleen's JV herd

Fuerte, Fausto and Faran, Kathleen Fiford from New Zealand has collected and painted all of my curio scale Spanish guys. The bay Fuerte is done as a portrait of Ali Baba, a dressage competition Lusitano stallion in NZ owned by Jody Heartstone. The palomino, Torso's Gold, took a reserve champion title at his last show.

She doesn't have a website yet, but if you are interested in having Kathleen paint one of your horses you can look her up on Facebook and get in touch.

Sweater Weather & Golden Ticket

These two minis are doing very well in the show ring. A note from their owner, Heather Moore:

"Just wanted to let you know how the pieces you've completed for me are cleaning up at shows! Excuse my terrible photos, but "Sweater Weather" aka Mini Ravenhill won big at the SCPA Classic, and "Golden Ticket" aka Yago was the Grand Champion of the entire Mini CM/Resin Division at SWPA Classic. Yay! I always get so many compliments on how lovely they are!"

Congrats, Heather, and thanks for sending photos!

National Champion!
