almost there...

Just some clean up on the mane and edges and I think it is there.

Still don't have a title for it.

Gearing up...

It has been a busy month, well three months, well...9 months, but I am buckling down to get ready for shows and deadlines. I have three calendars coming out in 2015, and they are in the works already. I am also gearing up for a "how to" book. TBA. This is currently on the easel and I am having fun with it. A horse in the water...just imagine it! So unusual for me, I know. But let's face it, I do love to paint the two together.

On a personal note, we are looking at buying another horse, one of ours is getting older and can't handle the trails like he did in the old days, so we are trying out a couple of horses on the weekends. So to add to the workload, I am getting yet another critter. We are in no hurry, so the "test drives" will take some time.

I will keep you posted.

Two small ones...

I have had to take some time off here and there to do "around" the house stuff, so I decided to do a few quickies to stretch my wings and get back into the swing. These are both 5x7 oils. I was curious if I could get a watercolor feel with oils and had fun with these.

For Mindy...

A personal post to Mindy. Yes...it is true. I paint with a chicken on my shoulder.

I need help.

Where does the time go? The 2014 calendar is done and ready to go. I will not be handling sales from the studio this year as my schedule is unbending and stacked. You can pre-order the calendar from www.calendars.com  with free shipping. They will be available for shipping in August.

Get ready for 2015, I will have a songbird, western life, and horse calendar with Legacy Publishers. All products are top quality and made in the USA.
