A Historic Look at Arcadian Creations Painted Model Horses

We all start somewhere with our artistry.  I look back and still smile with each of these as they were the seeds from which my current skills have developed into.  I can lay all my original inspiration in artists like Kathy Maestas who took a plastic factory finished model and created something totally new and unique and paved the way through "how to" articles in Just About Horses magazine that led me to do this form of craft.  I started painting models in oils before finding a love in acrylics and of course there was always wild hair (hey, it was the '80s!).  In the end, I must thank Kathy for inspiring me through the work she shared with the hobby. 

To Kathy, thank you.
