Burbank dreams of chasing mice...

I have a "supervisor" in my studio and his name is Burbank. I can not work on the computer, pull out my pastels, or paint without him watching my every move. Today, he fell asleep on the window perch I put up for him and had a dream. I can not even imagine what he was dreaming of, but it must have been a good dream. I was able to work without him trying to crawl into my lap and be a total pest but when I heard him snoring I had to grab the camera.

A Gentle Touch WIP

My newest work in progress, A Gentle Touch. It is in the very early stages and I am sketching as I go. Stay tuned...

In the Cave of the Old Ones

This is an old painting that I just had scanned from a transparency. Funny how technology changes so quickly. Just a few short years ago, we had slides and transparencies made of our work, now they are obsolete. Computer scans have taken over for recording our work, who knows what is going to be the "norm" in 10 years?
This is a pastel, 8x10 and is sold.

Three of a Kind

Finally done. This has been a labor of love. I took pictures of these horses at the Artist Ride a few years ago. They were waiting for us to finish photographing longhorns and eager to get to work. I love the intensity in their eyes, and the anticipation to get to work. These guys are working horses, and love their job. Now if I could just get my horse a job...

Art Appreciation

I posted on my blog a while back that I went to London with my friend, Linda Besse. While we were at the Victoria Albert museum, she talked about wanting to do a painting of people admiring paintings. What a great idea, and what a huge undertaking. She gave this painting wings and I am in awe of it. Please take a moment to check out her blog and see her step by step progress of it, I know it will wow you like it did me.
