a little quiet time

happy thanksgiving

...they say that the day before Thanksgiving is the
busiest travel day of the whole year ... and I for
one believe it, having flown out of ATL!

Do most of you have a subject that you "go to" when you
really don't have anything else that is moving you to paint
that day? For me it is horses...they are such beautiful animals
and I have sketched and painted them since I was a child....up
close and in person they frighten me a bit because they are so
 big and you have to respect them but I have always admired
them from afar.

Fall 2012 continued

I have set a goal, as have all of you, to paint every day.
I have found it has really helped me to "loosen up" and
that is a good thing, no? I did this in about half an hour,
and I am sure some of you are thinking that it looks like
it (and not in a good way) ha ha....but art is subjective.
 I am rather pleased with this one myself...simple design,
simple color scheme, just go for it and have fun.

French cat....from Provence!

I painted this for my grand daughter,
Rose, a while back. She has it on the wall
of her bedroom
