Welcome to my studio, Total Image Equine. My name is Kimberly Bleecker and I've been in this hobby since the early '70s. Been painting almost as long as collecting & showing. The mediums I use to get that realistic look is in oils, acrylics, enamels, pastels and even airbrushing. Mostly I use rich oil paint. It takes longer, but with the many layers of oils, I get a wonderful, warm, "live" flesh effect. I was thrilled to be asked to design the appaloosa patterns for the Premier models, Carina and Selene. Love to do that again. Please, enjoy my website with both finished models and samples of my work
