The Painting:  This began with an undercoat of Indian Yellow, swipes of Deep red and orange and gorgeous sunrise runs of paint.  Thus began this composition.  The added layers of acrylic build the horse off the surface of the canvas.


The Thought: This was a busy shipping week with over 15 pieces going out to various collectors and galleries.  The market had slowed last month but was quite brisk this weekend.  I gave up trying to figure out the economy.  We closed on our refinancing loan yesterday, pulling together all our home improvement loans out on the house we have redone.  It settles everything in one loan for 5% which is a positive thing for us until we know if Terry will be offered an early retirement package.

Our daughter was off for two days of Teacher Inservice.  She worked hard rebuilding her science notebook and I think she is enjoying being back in school again.  She missed her friends. She enjoyed the weekend though as we did some winter clothes shopping and found a cute sweater jacket for her. Maybe we will get some cooler temperatures soon so she can wear it!

I received an email that contained the catchy phrase  "Soul Reason".  Pretty darn catchy in fact.  When you decide to do something or you are making a major decision in life, perhaps it would be wise to examine the SOUL REASON for doing it.  It triggers thoughts of what and why you do things in life. Then to think about how those decisions relate to your soul and who you truly are... it is enlightening.



What's your soul reason for getting up this morning and reading my blog?

“[A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.] O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.”- Psalm 63:1

The Thought:  Our youngest daughter is still very ill.   I am pumping her full of fruit and juices, mucinex and tylenol etc but it is not a positive thing right now. Does not look like we will make my older daughter's house for Thanksgiving.  I am sad because there will be new family to be attending along with everyone that has NOT been together since the dea
