Lot #1: Kitty Cantrell has donated an unpainted copy of her large traditional scale standing stock breed mare resin, "Bell," which is being painted by Dara West! Bless her heart, Dara has graciously agreed to step in for Elizabeth Bouras, who was unfortunately not able to paint the piece as planned. Dara has tried something new and painted Bell to a dunalino with a wide angled blaze and pink nose, using airbrushed acrylics with pastel and pencil hand detailing. Click here to see IN PROGRESS photos of this piece. Dara has just finished this piece and shipped her out! Her mane and tail now have more blond highlights in them than the pictures shown, and her dark points are more brown than black. Photos of the finished piece should be available shortly!

He also has loads of tiny details, including ermine striped hooves, subtle pinking deep inside his nostrils, and a very haughty expression.
