Whew, when I started this painting I began with the golds and worked counter clockwise into green, midnight blues, purples and then to the reds.... I stepped back and thought "ICK" but
began working on the horse still not sure of what colors would make up this rolling baby in the morning light! The colors began building as I went and slowly as I added more and more it worked into the vivid background, all of it alive with action and color. It takes a daring person to love this one, but hopefully it will touch a heart!
Yesterday we went back into Dallas to order glasses. I couldn't decide, so I bought two pair. My sunglasses I used my old Maui Jim frames that I LOVE ~ but the new ones...geez one is a frame maker called facetoface I think and they have plaid sides going over the ears and square rectangles in the front. The second pair is tortoise like pattern in PURPLE!!!!! The eyes are shapes like the actual eye shapes and are way coool. Terry used old frames and just had lenses made. Glasses are rather expensive doing what I did. I normally do FUNCTIONAL and heck I decided I wear these things everyday and hated my last pair so at this age I was going to choose what called to my heart in fun. Will post pics in about two weeks when we pick them up.
Last night when we had dinner at MiCocino in SouthLake. After dinner we walked into the square where the fountains are and sat on a bench...shaded trees all around us, water spraying and young children and families everywhere running on the grassy areas in the town square enjoying the cool of the early evening as twilight purples began to hinge in the clouds on the horizon with a late shower. It was more delicious than dinner.
Upon arriving home there was a phone message from a school district I had applied with three years ago for a position. Small district an hour east of Dallas and a place we considered moving if Terry retired. We looked there last year but I wasn't offered the job I applied for last year, but now they want me. We have had no lookers at the house and had decided God does not have everything in place. Not sure if this is part of the plan or not but I will be calling her back to at least set up an interview. Who knows, maybe someone will come buy the house today! LOL, God has such a sense of humor. It will provide a good time to visit our oldest friends, Paul and Vicki Fletcher. Paul told us on Monday that he was asked by the Republican Party in the area to run for Sheriff next year. He would do so well with this job!
Gotta paint some kissing folks for a commission pop art this morning! Hopefully I can post it tomorrow.
Grace,
Laurie

Love this one!!! So bright and horsey...
Good luck with your home sale...we just sold our house in Flagstaff, Az about two weeks ago...it is a stressful time, isn't it? It was on the market about 2 months and it did get shown alot...which was good and bad, I had to clean it up, darnit! We are moving back to Northern California to be closer to family and friends...can't wait.
Anyway, glad you are doing better after your accident and hope it works out the way you want.
Best,
Janette
