Friday favorites

 Spring is mud season.

I hate it.

The footing is slippery.

The horses are filthy.

It's miserable.

It's definitely not my favorite.

Over the years, I've seen several artists create muddy horse customs. Every time, I have thought, "Ugh, why?" 

Obviously, I get that it's realistic, but it's kind of like a peeing model. I don't feel like it's something that needs to commemorated in sculpture.

Well, it turns I just hadn't seen the right mud horse custom.

Jenn Constantine created this muddy version of Sarah Minkiewicz-Breunig's venti scale Whirlwind resin, and he is chef's kiss.

The mud is distributed perfectly...

and so well done.

He looks muddy and happy, and honestly, this is a model I'd be happy to own.

Congratulations, Jenn. Mudlark is amazing.
