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 abyss. We need a restoration in our lives of at least

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 parts for the horses emerging from the point

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, it is a good deal tomorrow."  Does tha

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 finished.  I grabbed my purse and pulled out my Costco Card... pulle

Milne, When We Were Very Young The Painting I chose to reach out to the past and the Painted Ponies that began in 2006. This is a brand new very wet painting.  I am collected world wide for this style. Fresh colors on the palate with golden hue. With repetitive long strokes with my palette knife, the beauty of the yellow blended over golds and whites brings joy and smiles. The paint is layered thick - up to 1/2 inch in places.  Will take a few weeks to cure. Love the color of the paint!  Click the painting if you are interested in seeing more of it close up.

The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going, because they were holding on to something. That there is some good in this world, and it’s worth fighting fo
