It is cool and clear outside! I will enjoy walking later! Yesterday was busy, I was working in the studio preparing five paintings for their trip to Rockwall to the new store over there that has invited my work in! Horses of course! I pulled the APPY Three from Auction because it was decided I would do a continual series just for that store of those style paintings! From that we will do a book and a calendar and proceeds can benefit horse rescue! Texas Tach Exchange is the name of the store and the owner Kiki Teague is incredible, as is her store. The Spirit fills and spills out from every direction and there is a peace with in that is undeniable.www.TexasTackExchange.com
I really look forward to working with Kiki. I fell in love with Rockwall, and Terry felt the warmth of the bustling growing town as well. I look forward to visiting again.
I met up with another buyer at my mom's home to deliver a painting...it was a rooster for the man in her life! She too was remarkable and filled with grace. I know the rooster is going to Love his new home! Got to visit with my parents while Terry had a glass of port. We then took off for Whole Foods to shop and had a picnic dinner in the car driving back across town - actually through eight towns before arriving home. It was a long day. Rockwall is EAST of Dallas and we live north west of Ft Worth.
The painting I listed has the beautiful colors of the early morning yesterday...The softness of the foggy haze as the sun came up! I decided it would make a nice backdrop on a painting and it turned out restful!
Well today is painting and cleaning...but I think I will paint first!
Grace to all,
Laurie

Post note: Yesterday a series of events has led Terry and I to thoughts of moving from Justin. We had purchased this home in a bind last year when our large home sold suddenly. This was around the corner and we thought it might work...but is entirely TOO small. (from 3500 sq ft to 1800 sq ft.) I knew it was a sign when our ECO pest control man who has serviced us for years at both places came in and looked me in the eye and said, "you really need more space." ( he couldn't even get in my studio to spray around the windows! LOL)
Then at the credit union, Vicki, an old friend and our loan officer, greeted me with a hug telling me I needed to move in closer where folks could visit my studio and buy work. The remark came with no prompting from me. She had just spent time going through my blog and seeing all my art work. (Justin Tex is not on a path anywhere!) Then the visit to Rockwall and seeing a town that is alive and caring about itself...Justin TX is not high on that point at all! So, it got us talking, but we are both NOT NOT NOT wanting to pack and move. After seeing the Daily Word thought today, it was based on closing doors and opening new ones and how sometimes we have to close a door in faith and we find the sudden draft as a door opens before us sending the old one shut. I am not sure I am ready for this, but will be in prayer continually as we decide. Pray for us!
