"I love doing my painted pony pulls.  If you want one, you simply provide me with your colors in your home and that is what I pull through the painting. Let's do it... Best New Years gift to give yourself for your home or office!" JANUARY 1, 2023 The Dreaded List The one thing you can count on every minute of every day and night is CHANGE. When it comes to New Year’s Resolutions, they challenge you to change.  Proof in the pudding by the end of January, 93 percent of us set New Year’s goals but maybe 20% of us keep them past February, according to the American Psychological Association .   Many of us are not good “keepers of goals.” It is not hard to walk away when there are too many of them to attempt to keep as a resolut

You always wonder where a painting lands if it is moved. This one was 'taken' but I never understood how someone 'lifts' a painting from a gallery wall.   That was a gallery in Santa Fe New Mexico and I believe who ever has it hanging in their home did not know it was stolen and sold to get to them.  STOLEN  If by chance you see this blog and it is your painting, please reach out on my website, CONTACT ME    I will provide you a certificate of authenticity and put my heart at rest over where my two black horses are living. I have been selling my work over 24 years now, starting with friends and then ebay, and then in galleries across the United States from Jackson Hole, Park City, La Jolla,

Christmas is less than five days away... the 21st is just 9 hours away. I am working on feeling better faster!!!  I actually slept almost 9 hours last night and I am feeling closer to 85-90 percent better.  I must tell you ZICAM works as does Sambulcol Flu and Cold. Totally surprised.  Christmas is the time for Gathering and that is why I chose this painting to share today, from 2007.     I painted about four in this serious. I am pretty sure if I painted today, I would not have left a large white rear end in the top center of the painting...but it did not last longer than 24 hours on my website.   🤪 My mind has been mulling over using some raw canvas in the closet and cutting off a hunk of it for experimenting.   I want to gesso it at least twice or

"Misery.. winter cold hit and I am in the thick of it!... not just cold air but a head cold.  The cold air hits in about 36 hours and it keeps dropping.  I did see my doctor today and it is not in my chest...thankfully! I had an allergic reaction to something last Wednesday and have been battling that and Suddenly this morning, I have a blooming head cold!  Stay healthy and eat healthy... I am going to work hard to be well by Christmas Eve. Excuse me... I am sneezing! Traversing New Lands I have always believed an artist that stagnated was not growing if their work was not deepening. The end work is not as important as the journey.  We know it when we come to it face to face.  I had to criss cross several paintings I had up over the past two we

Think I will be asleep if he decide

"Suddenly about ten yesterday morning, the storms had blown through and I picked up an empty canvas and started painting this soft precious group of iris. It would be rich in a frame that brought out the delicate beauty.  There was no pre thought which was not good... I worked on it about 7 hours. Enjoy the day today...  "   Delicate Beauty The definition of Delicate Beauty is " 1. exquisite, fine, or subtle in quality, character, construction, etc. 2 having a soft or fragile beauty. 3 (of colour, tone, taste, etc.) pleasantly subtle, soft, or faint.
