Long time, no blogging activity!!!

It has been SUCH a long summer!!!  It was all great fun and all, but so little time to paint.  And anyone who says that being a stay at home mom is boring, should try being me!!!  I seem to only get one day a week to paint so far, and that's going to have to change shortly, because I will be doing 2 art shows this fall!!!  I am volunteering 1 full day, and one part day at my kids' school, and being an advocate for art program at their school as well.  It's a full time job itself, let alone taking care of a stray kitty that adopted us, my own pets, the "flip-a-car" side job we have going on, and anything else that comes up!!

That all being said, I HAVE made progress on my favorite painting, "Thunder on the Mountain".....  now this is a fuzzy picture, I will change it later.  but as you can see, it's not a fast pic to paint!  it's 24x36.  you can feel the ground rumbling as the horses thunder by... it's rather impressive to be there, and hopefully I can capture a bit of that in this painting!!!  the palomino and the bay/chestnut with the blaze still need attention, and then touchups of course.....  it's coming along, and I hope to finish in the next couple of weeks!  I have more ideas that need to be brought to canvas, so I better get a good system going here shortly!!  And, perhaps another easel for the studio?  hmmm!!!!
