At this time I am no longer accepting custom painting orders. Thank you so much for your interest in my work! I will be painting pieces and offering them for sale from time to time through Ebay and my Tabaskeau Studio News. My paintwork has NAN qualified many times, and often placing Champion or Reserve.

Grullo Tango~ completed Jan 2005. In my private collection. This guy has all the bells and whistles and is, I think, some of my best work yet. He is a combination of airbrushing, pastels and hand painting. He's full of little details like individual hairs in his mane and tail and highlighted facial features. His tones range from a warm metallic brown to cold silvery blue. He's loaded with metallic sheen that will make him shine on the show table. In an effort to capture is true color and details, I took both indoor and out door photos, but none of these do him justice. The indoor ones more accurately show his color.
Golden Dun Desperado completed Summer 2004
Desperado in Silvery Blue Grullo~ Jan 2005. CM Tail added by me. Custom order for Vanessa McGovern. These photos do not show his true colors well at all. He is a very silver metallic with a definite blue quality. Click thumbnails for larger photos.
Roan Fabio, painted June 2004.
Grullo Majestuoso~ April 2004~
Grullo Tobiano Pyt, in progress April 2004.Hooves and tail not done....He has leg barring dorsal stripe and barring, a little facial cobwebbing, subtle dapples on his shoulder and hindquarter, silver/gray/green eyes, primitive markings on the back of his ears, neck shading, and minimal "belly bars". His ermine spots are very soft and blended. He was painted with acrylics and by hand with pastels. His hooves will have pigmented stripes, and his tail will be like his mane, darker at the tip with light guard hairs, done by hand. These photos don't really show him that great~ he's much more striking in real life-very soft and sooty.
Buckskin Desperado~Completed in May 2004. I also customized the tail on him.
Sporthorse Appaloosa mare~ completed late March 2004. Take the time to click on the thumbnails to see details!
