They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To site with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing wasn't boring, it was peace." Milan Kundera MIss Lily... she is my daughter in law's pup. She has had her since she was a wee one adopted from the pound. Lilly scares me... she is an aggressive little thing that is accustomed to being her mamas number one. I heard last week at lunch that her health is failing.  I cannot even imagine visiting my son and DIL home and Lily not being there.
AIREDALE Attention 6 x 6 inch Oil on Panel A Painting a Day The storms were interesting yesterday. Conni Togel and daughter Annie Mae were flying in from Greensboro South Carolina in the late afternoon early evening hours. Storms gather southwest of us with tornadoes, 70 mile an hour straight line winds, hail etc and we determined the storm was to hit DFW International Airport at 6:35 pm. I scampered into the computer. Conni's flight was due at 6:35. As I pulled up the screen it was delayed to 6:43...as it departed Greensboro late. Not the best scenario. We left for the airport at five fifteen hoping to beat the weather to the garage parking outside the terminal. My daughter kept us abreast of the storm and we prayed that Conni's flight would somehow make it in before the storm and not be diverted. 30 min later as the rain began to lightly fall and the black/green clouds began gathering to the south of the airport, I called the info line to find her flight was due in at
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
