The BCS Winter Photo Challenge

When I saw the photo challenge over at Braymere Custom Saddlery, I knew that I would have to be part of it too!! So, without further ado, welcome to the Bits and Spurs entry in the BCS photo challenge!!!!!!

1.Vintage-These are my oldest models. I got them both from MEPSA awards. Can you guess what years they are from??

2. Nekkid-"Hey, where is your blanket???"



So, for the next prompt "Scale issues" I was going to go with this photo....

..but then I thought to myself "I can do better then this.."

Do you see the Stablemate?????

....now THIS is a scale issue!!!! 

3. Scale Issues

Ollie did great with this photo, but it was still very hard for me to take it because the model kept falling off of Ollie's back. 

So, the Ollie picture is my official entry for the prompt "Scale issues."

4. I see Spots

Mom and Baby (Theodora and Quimby). 

5. Unbridled Passion

6. Rare Breed-This is my first medallion. I finished it yesterday. I sculpted and painted it myself. :) However, because it is my first one it is a VERY rare breed. 

7. Portrait- Because no post is complete without a picture of Collin!!

8. Conga-I have a lot of two and three horse conga's..many more than I thought I did!!!

9. The Great Outdoors-I love this photo!!

10. Best In Show-Ashka is most certainly my best model in the MEPSA photo shows I do with her. She is great!!! 

I hope you enjoyed this photo Challenge as much as I did putting it together!!!

Oh, I have updated my blogroll so that you can enjoy more model-related posts. Trail Blazer Farm is one of my newest favorite blogs. She takes a lot of photos and writes very well. You should go check her out!!

Thank you so much for 15,000 views! To celebrate I am doing to do something special.

I don't know if you know this, but I love to draw horses. I started drawing when I was two, and I have been drawing ever since. The pictures below I have done in the past two days:

My Favorite! :) 

Anyway I have decided to do a contest. Send me an email with a picture of your favorite model, and I will draw it then send it to you!! Here are the Rules:

1. Email me at cowgirlyssa@gmail.com
2. Name your favorite Breyer Model that you own. Please specify his (or her) name also.
3. Send a picture of your model, preferably a good one where I can see the detail of the face, legs, etc. Your picture can be at any angle but remember: Whichever angle the photo is is how I will draw it. 
4. Specify ink or pencil for your drawing. Pen will be less detailed but pencil may rub and blur.
5. send me your address, and I will send the picture in heavy watercolor paper right to you for free!
7. First come, first serve!!! Don't be afraid to email me if you think all the slots I can draw are taken. :)

Remember: This is all free! Because this is a contest and it is free if you do not like your drawing (I promise I will do the best I can) no rude commenting on this blog. Thanks!!!!!

I am excited, and I cannot wait to draw something for you!!!!!

P.S. If you do not want to email me then you can comment with your model's name and mold/ model and I can either find a picture on the internet of the same mold OR I can use one of my models if they are the same mold. Enjoy!!!
