Back to art!

The garden is done, the produce canned, frozen, eaten....  Now some time for some fun.  I entered these three paintings in the Rochester Fair in NH and won first place for the Crab Apple Blossoms, second for the Alpaca, and judge's choice for the Scotsman. 

I am now working on some Christmas Card ideas and will post those as soon as they squish from my brain, through my hand, and onto some paper.

This is Bessie. She is my sister & her husband's fur child. She is particularly attached to my brother in law to the point that she actually mopes in the corner when he leaves until he comes back. This painting is to be a birthday gift for him. His birthday was in August - as usual, I am always late.

I used a reference photo that my husband took of Danielle & her horse, Sivad, at a local horse show. Danielle was excited to show us how she taught Sivad to KISS. When I saw the photo, I knew a painting was on its way. They just love each other so much.

The original is sold, but prints are available.
