March 16th, 2021 - John 3:16 Day

Today is 3/16 2021, which I learned from @hazelvickers_artist makes today John 3:16 day! Anyone who owns one of my sales horses will see this verse alongside my signature. It is my way of giving every one of my creations back to God. The full verse is: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one & only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (NIV transl.). We were created by God, & given a few rules to follow, like a parent making rules to keep their kids safe. He also gave us free will to make our own decisions, & being Human, we all have broken those rules. No Human is perfect, every one of us has sinned. & like any disobedience, there are consequences for the action. The consequence for sin is to be cut off from Heaven, life after death, & to be instead sentenced to Hell. God loves all of His creations, especially people, & wants us all to be with Him in Heaven, so he made a way that we can, despite our sins. He sent his Son Jesus, the Human incarnation of God & a perfect being, to Earth to suffer a horrible death, to pay for our penalty for Sin. After 3 days of being dead & buried in a tomb, Jesus rose from the grave, having defeated death, the consequence we would all have had to pay. He is more powerful than death itself & faced it so that we would not need to, but can live on in Heaven. Our sin's punishment has been paid for in full, all we have to do is to accept it as the gift that it is. Depending on the sin, we may not escape Earthly punishment, but we are fully pardoned by God, to be welcomed Home when our time comes. Knowing God & accepting His gift does not make Earthly life all rainbows & butterflies, but it does give us a compass point to always have Hope that He is in control even in the scariest situations. I am forever grateful that God gave me this gift, & like all fabulous presents, I am always excited to tell others about it! "If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” & believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe & are justified, & it is with your mouth that you profess your faith & are saved." Romans 10:9-10 NIV.

This is weird. I almost posted this guy earlier in the week. Then I was talking about him with a friend (about how he fell off my table to land squarely on a can full of files, gashing his paint job when I was on track to finish him for a live show. 🤦‍♀️) & then I get a text from my bestie Kim that she bought him & he just arrived! ...Maybe his name should be Speak Of The Devil! 😆

I have either nothing interesting to post (dull WIP hooves, squiggly vein 'painting', never. ending. whites!!), or extremely interesting things I can't post (gifts, gifts that I don't want spoiled!), so have a pic of my WBP I.M. Yummi sculpted by Chris Jolly, because she's cute & on my mind lately. Her name is SWF Under The Yum Yum Tree, after a 1902/1905 ish song. I painted her a few years ago, she was fun to do all the old horse details on! She hasn't gotten out much, but I show her as an old QH. She does pretty good for as little as she's been in the ring, live or photo! #modelhorse #modelhorses #horsemodel #artistresin #AR #artistresinmodelhorse #resinhorse #traditionalmodelhorse #modelhorsesofinstagram #resinhorsesofinstagram

I was tagged a few weeks ago by @kanaretah_luvr for some sort of snowy picture challenge. I neglected to screen cap it, so I don't remember what it was or if it had a hashtag! At that moment I didn't have the time, inclination, or agreeable weather to go out & actually take any pics (read: l a z y . ...& unwilling to freeze!) The foot or so of snow we had has since melted, so have an old pic instead! Duelo sculpted by Maggie Bennett, painted to a gold bay (yes, bay not buckskin; I only know that because the horse he was painted after was a bay!), an old commission done for @lainiescraft several years ago. #modelhorse #modelhorses #horsemodel #artistresin #AR #artistresinmodelhorse #resinhorse #traditionalmodelhorse #modelhorsesofinstagram #resinhorsesofinstagram

Welp, I did not do it this year, & by the last week of Feb I knew I wouldn't finish (or at least that I wouldn't be at all happy with the results if I did!). Feb this year was not a good month, so the cards were stacked against me. Here's to a successful NaMo 2022! Congrats to all who did finishe before the stroke of midnight! I have loved seeing all the colorful ponies that have come to life in the month!! @eclecticequines #NaMoPaiMo #NaMoPaiMo2021 #modelhorse #modelhorses #horsemodel #artistresin #AR #artistresinmodelhorse #resinhorse #traditionalmodelhorse #namopaimominispaintingminis #namopaimominispaintingminis2021 #minispaintingminis #minispaintingminis2021 #modelhorse #modelhorses #horsemodel #custommodelhorse #CMmodelhorse #modelhorsecustom #modelhorseCM #modelrailroadinghorse #hoscale #modelhorsesofinstagram #resinhorsesofinstagram

One base, four different colors planned! It's interesting sometimes how the same colors, applied differently, will lead to totally different results, & that is going to be the case with these guys!
