WEEDA and EDDIE Commission Oil 30 X 40 inches A Painting a Day Saturday. WOW, one of my oldest friends is getting married today! Conni and I will head in to Dallas for the wedding and expect lots of good food and friends! YUMMMMM! This is the second in the commission pieces for Eddie's mom. This horse is Weeda...and Eddie was not suppose to be in the painting, but he sneaked in at Weeda's feet. IT may be another week before I can ship these...the paint is thickly applied with a palette knife. Yesterday we visited Southlake Town Square and attempted to visit a gallery on the square but it was locked tight. Wonder how that artist wants to sell work. But we did the James Avery thing and found a pretty charm bracelet for Annie. I put a Texas charm on it and she picked out a bunny for it! A wreck on the freeway delayed our lunch and arrival home. We stopped by the CAULDREN of Death and tried to get some fried chick (Chicken Express) but they were out of real chicken, like dr...

HORSES galloping to Hong Kong 24 X 24 inches Oil on Canvas A Painting a Day SOLD This is a Commission Piece on its way to an interior decorator in Hong Kong! Neighborhood meeting last night discovered we all have mineral rights under our acreage and there is a gas well being drilled about two miles away that will be providing revenue for the area....could be $0 or it could be $10 or it could be several hundred a month. We had no idea. Terry and I are both environmentalist and really do not like this, but there is not much we can do about it. You will hear more as the process continues! This painting is going to Hong Kong, along with three others! They horses are excited about the travel. The first painting leaves today and this one and another will follow next Monday. Yesterday found us planting the trees that arrived! No I haven't had time to breathe or load the pics yet, but I will. We took my visiting cousin into Southlake Texas to eat at a Fabulous Mexican Restaurant...yum...

Spirit and Eddie 30 x 40 Oil on Canvas Commission A Painting a Day Contact me for Commission Work. Laurie Pace Janis had purchased one of my "the Gathering" paintings and had me do a second one for her living room. She contacted me recently to do two paintings for her mom in the same style...definitely contemporary impressionism. BOLD colors and black outlines all playing apart of the composition. I will start the second one when my white paint arrives. I am totally out. Ordered it weeks ago...got all my other colors, but not my white. Can't recommend DICKBLICK for fast delivery at all. EVER. Don't know why I continue to order from them Just returned from a three mile walk with my neighbor Cathy. I love the stimulating conversation that flows about our children, God and life in general. She is a bit younger by maybe 10 years and her kids are college age and a senior in high school. Mine are all over age 26! But the love Cath has for her dad and mom and for...

HORSE and DOG 30 X 40 inches Oil on Canvas... the beginnings of a Commission painting A Painting a Day CONTACT ME for Commission Work. Laurie Pace This is really not the title for this, but the beginnings of a commission piece I am working on. The collector has an older Appy and a gorgeous Airedale. When I asked about positioning and the relationship between the two, she laughed and said they do not talk or share! They are both jealous of each other...so I chose to use the original pose of the Appy she sent me and put the Airedale at an opposite position with his haughty stance...or should I say naughty stance....if he is ANYTHING like my Kerry Blue Terriers, there is some arrogance there. The Appy has a dark tail and we will be going with VIVID colors in the background with marigolds, crimson reds and greens... very startling effect as the collector desires! Will post the final painting tomorrow! The weather is ABSOLUTELY HEAVEN SENT!!! I just walked almost two miles with Talena ...

The Fishing Village 30 X 40 inches Oil on Canvas SOLD Commission Piece A Painting A Day Well, this was Sue's birthday present from her husband. She had asked me MONTHS ago to do this and I was so swamped I had no time...but about two months ago I finally started it and finished it in time to cure it enough to send. With her husband's help...it was a total surprise!!! She phoned last night in the midst of my art classes and we all wished her a happy birthday. I really enjoyed painting this one and will probably do another similar to explore it further! We are expecting MEGA storms today so I am going to finish up a painting and clean house. Makes sense doesn't it? If a mega storm is coming with tornadoes you clean house right? Wrong, you stay busy, altho I am debating unhooking my outside drives to put them ina safe place...will have to just watch the weather. I was suppose to go into Dallas today, but I did not because of the races at the NASCAR track down the road. I...
