PINTO PONY EVOLUTION

22 x 28 inches
Oil on Canvas

A Painting a Day

RAIN and more rain. Still have to varnish. We did not get to pack paintings yesterday...we had to cut the grass...it was thigh high and we have an acre of it! Terry spent six hours in the sun doing the yard and I spent the time scrubbing and cleaning the house. We will pack the paintings this morning IF I am able to spray the varnish sealer.

This painting was a pinto pony on a grey blue background....I came into the studio on Saturday and saw something else on the canvas and it evolved! Thick paint and contrasting pulls....very startling in person.

I am up early this morning for one of those I HAVE TO PAINT IT images floating in my head. The household is quiet because we were with out power last night when I fell asleep....I think I slept 8 or 9 hours. Terry is still sound asleep so I am hoping the phone does not ring to wake him. It is only 5:30 a.m. here right now....and I am itching to paint!

Faith and Patience with life is mentioned in my Daily Word today. Instead of tangling up our minds with worry, we should live life giving it all we can and the joy that results is unbelievable....who wouldn't rather have the joy over the worry? Hard to break the habit of trying to control everything. Give your worry validation and acknowledge it and then give it to the Lord. Turn loose of it. The joy begins then and you will feel lighter immediately.

Wow, thigh high grass. You ARE a trouper!
We have a tiny little 5000 sq ft lot with a house on most of it and it's quite a bit of work!

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
