Notes from the Artist:
It's very difficult to see all the rough spots or anomalies on a white, unpainted body. For this copy, the minute the first color layer hit the plastic, it was evident that a finger had "caved in" a section of the left hip in the molding process (when the plastic was still very warm). One would have had to specifically look for this in the prepping stage to have noticed it beforehand, and in this case, there's really no "fixing" it.
I had decided that I wanted to try one of these in a golden buckskin color... and thus completed this piece in along with the group of horses I was working on at the time, but without the red component to the color. The result is this very pretty buckskin version of Providence. Lamentable in the fact that he still retains the dent in his hip. More than one person seeing him on the rack noted what a shame it was. He still makes an attractive piece to view though.
