Good News!

I just received an e-mail from Susan Williams at windhorseOne Studios advising me that my painting “Babycheeks” has been accepted into the Rocky Mountain Horse Expo Art In The Park exhibition. It’s always such a thrill to receive an acceptance notice.   Art In The Park will be held from March 11 to 13, 2011, at the… read more

Blogging Blockage

I’ve been having trouble blogging about my paintings lately. It is not because no work is being produced (is that a double negative? terrible English language usage?) … I do have a couple of projects nearly completed and I’m happy with them.   I keep thinking, who wants to hear about how I get from… read more

Update on “Babycheeks” Painting

I have found out from the breeder of this nice colt that he is now owned by a lovely family in Osgood, Ontario – of course, he is all grown up now. I’d love to see what he looks like as an adult.

I’m Swamped!

I am working on three different painting projects and that is my excuse for not posting recently. They are almost finished but, as you painters know, one can never predict the exact date when they can be officially declared “done”.   The garden could use an early spring cleanup … I might take a bit… read more

Rainy Day Winter Musings

They then stayed on at Cactus Jack’s Gallery until the end of December.    Here are photos of the ribbon and… read more

A New Year

A new year and I’ve been sluggish about painting. However, I got inspired by a photograph of a rescue horse from the wonderful organization S.A.F.E. (Save A Forgotten Equine) in Monroe, WA. www.safehorses.org.  The photo was posted on their Facebook page and I received permission to paint the head of this lovely lady. I’ll donate the… read more

Holiday Slow Down

I am having a hard time getting going after the holidays – haven’t started any new paintings and the one I had on the go before Christmas looks kinda blah! Every time I walk past it, all I can see are dull colors – it’s a row of horses standing out in a pasture. Maybe… read more

Happy New Year!

To all my fellow artists, horse and animal lovers – all the best in 2011! 

Post-Christmas Musings

Enduring the final days of a head and chest cold (what other kinds are there, I suppose). Great opportunity to say ix-nay to housework and cooking. We never did have a Christmas dinner but there was nothing wrong with the sushi we enjoyed at a local Cloverdale restaurant …. it’s healthy, light on the stomach… read more
