Cleaning up the shelves

I have a bad habit of starting projects and then putting them on the shelf while I work on something else. This can result in some pieces sitting for a year or more, partly finished, waiting for me to return to them. Such is the case with this piece, a bisque Ravenhill by Hilary Hurley and produced by Horsing Around UK. I started china painting him two years ago and decided I wasn't advanced enough to tackle him. I'm feeling more confident and decided to work on him again. He needs more work on the face and in the hindquarters but I really like the way my roaning technique is evolving. I hope to have him done in a few weeks.
