Cassie Black Creations

I have been painting models for about 20 years. I started after reading an article in JAH about painting. I played around quite a bit with those first few horses with photo showing with fairly good results. After going to college I discovered a live show purley by accident at the Missouri Horse Expo. I purchased my first CM at an auction they had. That was the beginning of the end!! That horse (a Saddlebred Weanling CM by Chris Nandell and Wendy Galbreth that was painted in 1983) lead to more horses, better CMs and a lot of Live shows! 

I attended Breyerfest in 1998 and purchased Chris Nandell's Trade Secrets II, around the same time I bought Carol Williams Color Formulas and Techniques also. These two books introduced me to the beauty and ease of oil painting.

I currently paint using oils, pastels and some acrylics. My CMs have won many NAN cards, NAN merit awards, Champs and Reserves at Live and photo shows. I paint all sizes but have gravitated toward the small sizes for the Wow factor! I love when someone sees my micros and can't believe the detail in such a small package. I have been painting for myself and show donations with a few sales and comissions here and there. I am now a full time mom and can take limited commissions. My prices and turn around time are reasonable. I do take trades for tack and unpainted resins.   Please email me with any questions evanandcassie@aol.com
