CSRichmondStudios is back....

Hi everyone!

Around July of last year I returned to painting the 3D miniature equine resin sculptures.

Several have asked where I have been... well back in 2012 my husbands and my finances took a dive. Overflow from the 2009 nation wide financial issues. My husband and I did what was necessary to catch up financially. Work in our state was minimal...which meant that we were required to look out of state for work. We traveled to many states on the eastern seaboard and did this for 5 years.

Fast forward to 2018. I returned to painting...I deeply missed painting the horses during those 5 years. Creativity and inspiration is part of my soul.. an overflowing drive to grab a paintbrush and create color is always working like a whirlpool on the inside....just as it is with many artists.

In 2018 I completed a long awaited Blue Bird Studio and CSRichmondStudios collaboration sales piece ...and 2 other sales pieces which were sold.

Current 2019. Several commissions have been completed to date as well as a painted Rose "Hadrian" sales piece, a painted Breyer micro Mini Whinny sales piece, and a painted M. Bennett micro "Blitzen" sales piece.

In the works 2019/2020...

I am working on several public offering pieces... to be sold via highest offer once completed. All of my paintwork is 100% hand painted in professional grade artists oil colors.

The ones closest to completion include:
1) A customized S. Tumlinson "Aerosmith" with a custom hand sculpted removable rock wall jump. "Aerosmith" to a star dappled mulberry rose dappled grey.

2) A wonderful Fraley "IKO" mule to a bright and flashy spotted mule ..."IKO" will include a customized fancy hand painted wood-look and metallic golden bronze base. The colors in the base will go fantastically well with the colors on "IKO".

3) A Rose "Reiner" in mulberry star dappled rose grey... I will slightly customize "Reiners" base....the addition of some white markings may be in the works.

4) Levi "Dockers" sculpted by J. Scott... his color will be very unique, bright.. highly detailed... and he will have splendid blue eyes which will include lots of depth... the kind of blue eyes that reach into your soul when they look at you.

5) "Muzeera" medallion sculpted by Maria Hjerppe... this wonderful medallion is being painted to a mulberry rose dappled grey with a bright chestnut mane which includes some flaxen and sooty tones.

Coming down the pike for highest offer will be Venator, Annihilator, Victrix, Mini Indy, and several more.

I do have a commission waiting list going. The waiting list, as of this writing, is full through the summer of 2019. Questions? Email me thorough CSRichmondStudios@gmail.com

I also have a CSRichmondStudios newsletter which I use to announce up and coming public offerings and my "accepting highest offer" announcements for items currently up for offers.
