"I had this piece finished, I thought...but it was not until this morning. Following His guide on this right now. This one was up to sell but not complete. I spent this morning finishing the painting . PUSH Against the Wind"  PUSH There was a front pushing in this morning ... when we woke at 5:30... the wind was stirring and the clouds covered the moon and stars.  By 7:00 am, the west look out of our home was a muted bright orange glow and out the east side a sun trying to rise above the wind and turmoil.  By 8:00 am the sirens were going off constantly. Tornadoes, high sheer winds and lots of rain became the story. Watching these strong cold fronts barrel in from the north west meeting the warm southern air we have had the past week (

BE READY The season of ADVENT is upon us... and for our family, this is a special connection working in our lives preparing our hearts for the celebration of the Christ's birthday.  Preparation is good in all parts of our life.  From planing ahead, which often brings a giggle from our Father, to the full realization preparation of the heart, is dropping all your thoughts and plans into HIS hands.   We are truly a hands on civilization, believing we have control over our lives at all times. When you mix in the thought of God into our planning equation, you never kno

Why is it at the end of every day I can think of 100 things to write and share pertaining to life, love, family and painting, but at 11 am... my brain is still trying to make sure I finished what I needed to do this morning!.  This would be why I always blogged the night before and posted it to release in the early morning hours. Something to be said about 'the old days'.  Launching into November. Feels officially like fall is here when we reach the first of November. The trees in Texas rarely turn with color.  Our elm in the front yard is getting its tiny yellow leaves and the red oaks in the back are still green!  I do believe the fall colors are part of the painting I have been working on over the past three weeks ever so slowly until this week!   Change is good

Just jumping straight into this painting and the process.  I began with a different surface as I sketched out three horses and began pulling the paint.  It looked painful, so I put it out of its misery and began pulling colors together and flipping the canvas around.   Then I saw the two horses as clear as can be. Forward with more pulled paint and you have Sunrise Friend.  The beauty of these painted ponies is the style. I have been collected for these since about 2005, so over 15 years. I paint other styles of horses and lately really pretty ones on birch. But these paintings are freedom and love knitted together on the surface with intuitive painting and discovery.  Remember on my site right now this year is 199 paintings for $199 each.  I think I am up to abou

This baby was wild fun! Started out stately and a jumper horse and the colors were basically blues, oranges and greens.  I ended up accenting in reds. The paint is ever so thick!  Will take a bit to dry, but grab it now if it calls to you!  I am not sure my brain can blog and paint and list at the same time!  I am usually good about subjects and sharing. Think for now I will keep it to the wild paints!!
