Happy Holidays

A day at the beach

Ok, I have not fallen off the face of the earth, but some days it feels like it. My friends think that I have forsaken them, and my collectors think I have gone to the islands and stopped painting. It is not the case. We have been mired in repairs, paperwork associated with moving out of state, meetings, and building an arena and barn for our horses that are arriving on Christmas Eve.

I woke up on Sunday and told my husband that I need a day of "want to" and not "have to". So we packed up the dogs and went to the dog beach in Ocean Beach. It was the perfect day to replenish my soul and balance me out. The dogs had a great time and slept the rest of the day.

I am meeting with the fence company today to arrange the corrals, and finishing unpacking my studio while working on two commissions. Be patient with me, I will catch up soon. And who knows?...after Friday, it might not matter. :)

 Little dogs need help out of the car.

 Zoe thinks the water is just too cold.

 Dakota and Bella have a good romp down the sand.

After we were tuckered out, we stopped at a sushi bar for lunch. It was a great day!

This is a vanity painting. It is for my 2015 calendar for Legacy publishing, but I had to put my hubby and horse in it. This is John and my beautiful boy, Cadillac. The horses are moving here on Christmas Eve and better be ready for quite the shock. It snowed 12 inches in Minnesota a few days ago and it is in the 70's here. I think they are going to like the change.
This is "No Snow Days at the Ranch" Pastel

The new calendars are here!

My new 2013 Home on the Range Calendar is ready for orders and will be shipped and to you before Christmas. I have a very limited supply and have already sold 1/2 of my stock to pre-orders. These calendars are produced by the Legacy company and it is a heavy stock paper with brass grommets.

Cost is 15.00 plus 3.00 shipping and handling. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the animal rescues that are housing pets for displaced families of Sandy.

Moving and other problems...

Due to a glitch in the system, our old phone does not forward and we are only seeing a fraction of our mail. So I thought I would post my new info here.

We are all moved in and living out of boxes for a while. The most common statement in our home used to be, I love you...No, no (enter dog name), What's for dinner, etc. Now it is "Have you seen...? Where is...? Did we unpack...? You get the idea.

The new house is lovely and putting it together is going to be the fun part. I will post pictures as we pull it all together and I get the studio back up and running.

In the meantime here is our backyard and where we spend our evenings.

This is the sunset we see almost every night.

I will be back soon and start posting more regularly.
