When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.” ― Fred Rogers Painting Strength and Power fill this painting. Beautiful white mare is standing in the sun out in the deep of the west. With the strength of day upon the moment, the deep sky and the brilliant sun are reflected again the mountains.  This beautiful piece is on solid beautiful birch and ready to hang as it arrives. The Story Can you even imagine stepping out into the sun unencumbered or limited by responsibilities? You would have the entire day before you to seek ...

There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always .”  Mahatma Gandhi Painting This is the second of the new series of the pulled Painted Ponies. I have not painted these in many years. I did do a large one for a show in Denver, and it sold that same month.  There is a magic in doing these that amazes me and propels me to do a few more. I have thought of painting flowers and will do some, and I thought of finishing a commission of two children, and MUST do that, and I want to do more of my women. They hold the same spell to me as do the horse...

This painting is truly a painting tied to my heart. I cannot explain it, but it is. The mist, the colors and the contrast all pull you on the journey across the canvas from left to right. It is almost as if they are stepping off the edge of the world into the mist... charging ahead. Christmas is arriving soon! If you want a commission painting, I still have time to paint something special for you! My Thoughts Above I mentioned how the horses are stepping off the edge of the world. The more I thought about that phrase, they are actually stepping off into the abyss.  I feel we all are on the verge of that abyss today or actually in the abys...

And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”  Lewis Carroll  Alice's Adventures in Wonderland/ Through the Looking Glass The Painting Again looking back in January of 2013, Night Snow was patterned off a prior piece years before of horses and snow. This came together with the dark of night and the white of snow and the movement of clouds and the movement of horses. If you observe it a moment you might catch the V form on its side on the left side of the painting opening in a V with the explosion of horses from the pinch in the V's. Color parts and sky part...

It was sold within five minutes of posting it... and NO hesitation.  It is oil on Canvas panel and was painted in January of 2013, just before we sold our lake house to move back to Dallas. The cool of winter and the few warm days that sprinkled January inspired the thoughts of spring to come.   Thoughts I am not hesitating at all tackling the word "Hesitation". Hesitation can cost you your life or someone else's life.  I hear my father in law, Ben speaking to me, "If it is a good deal today...

We have a pattern down pat for our stores and our times and our needs.  Last week our morning began crazy and we were running late for Senior Shopping.   They do have a great selection of organic veggies and fruit!!! 👉💚💚 As we arrived I asked Terry to drop me off at the front door and he could gas up the truck and I would be almost through by the time he was fin...
