NaMoPaiMo day twenty seven and BreyerWest day four

Today is the twenty seventh day of NaMoPaiMo. There are over three hundred twenty horses in the Winners' Circle. 

Today was also the fourth day - third official - of BreyerWest.

The morning session was dedicated to the Youth and Novice Show.

I was a last minute addition to the judging staff and oversaw a small but very nice Performance division.

After the champions were pinned, I walked around the trade show with my (non-hobby) friends, Trisha and Shawnee.

When I returned to the BreyerWest area, the Stablemate Painting Contest was in full swing.

This was such a fun event. I'll definitely write more about it later, but for now, here's a picture of some of the winners.

Speaking of winners, today's NaMoPaiMo Champion of the Day is Lynn Cassels-Caldwell. 

Every year, Lynn shares so much of her painting process on the NaMoPaiMo Facebook page. I know I am not the only one who has learned so much about oil painting through her detailed progress photos.

Here's a better look at her 2022 horse, who was finished today.

Congratulations, Lynn and good job to everyone who has worked on their models today. Only one day left. I can't wait to see what we do!
