Paint A Pony In February!

Hello all!
Well, I am failing miserably in keeping up with this blog. Nothing that surprises me too much actually. I don't particularly enjoy doing computer work; it takes me a ridiculous amount of time to do this kind of stuff, & then at the end of the day I have nothing physically in front of me to see that I have accomplished something with the time spent. I do have some exciting posts to put up, but they have been WIPs for a very long time as I pick at them here & there. (Also need to catch up on previous posts as well! eap!) But in the meantime I wanted to spread the word on a fast approaching model horse challenge!
As many folks do, I enjoy reading Jennifer Buxton's Braymere Custom Saddlery blog, though I am not as devoted a reader as some (I just slips my poor little easily-distracted mind, to be honest!). But I popped over for some catching up a couple weeks ago only to find that she has a challenge brewing! It started mostly for herself, but she extended it to anyone who would like to participate with her: The National Model Painting Month! Please do read all about it on her blog here & here!

The name of the game is to start with a blank horse (prepped & primed is permitted) on the 1st of February 2017 & have a completely finished horse on the 28th of the same month. Now, unfortunately the majority of the chit-chatting is going to be on the NaMoPaiMo face book page, & I do not have, nor intend to get, FB, so my outlet is going to be on here.
I perpetually have WIPs of various kinds hanging around, but the challenge of painting a model in the span of a single month (the shortest month) sounds like fun; I've never specifically attempted a first-day-to-last-day-one-month-pony. ;) The victim on my mind is a WIP Rastus,

Yes, he's a little grubby, lol. He's been through a lot of handling! He is en rout to being a Halflinger all turned out for show.

but there will probably be others, CMs that are hanging around in various stages of prepped.

If based horses were included I would have a whole herd all set to go!

So by George, join in on the challenge! Whether you are an old pro who thinks it sounds like fun, or a newbie who would like to try their hand, grab a pony & some paint & have a good time!
