CWP Custom: Just Finished this Evening

Thanks to a more relaxed schedule this semester, I have had more time to work on things other than school work. I've been training my dog, reading books, and practicing organ, but one of the best parts is, I get more time to spend working on my horses. The unfortunate Smarty Jones mentioned earlier is almost ready to paint (I think he'll be gray instead) and I have plans for a fantasy Lady Jewel (maybe a unicorn/pegasus?) But I haven't just been planning, I've also been finishing projects - Startling, really. This evening I decided I wouldn't stop working until the Cantering Welsh Pony I've been working on for about a year was finished. (My mom's order to clean my workbench may have been a factor in my determination). So here she is, my first traditional custom. Yes, she has her flaws, but mainly small prepping flaws. (I hope my prepping skills have improved!) I personally don't think this picture does her justice, but my photography skills leave much to be desired. I'm especially proud of her eyes. Multi-colored, with faint whites and a thick layer of gloss. She is currently listed on MH$P. All her pictures are on my Picasa page.
