Be Back Soon

I have been working two part-time jobs: teaching art after school, and substitute teaching during the day. I am also taking 2 college courses, and I had to re-take my subject area exam for my state certification.  (Found out I could still get it re-instated if I got caught up on every thing before the end of June.)  I am half way there!  Passed my big exam on art history, teaching strategies, and developmental stages of children in art education.  It was a two and a half hour test!  And it was a two hour drive to get to the testing site.  Studied for a couple of weeks. Glad that is over with!

Robert laughs at me, says it is my own fault for letting things get so far behind.  He is right, but I was honestly taking care of him through all of his brain surgeries.  Oh well, it is good to have him back, and hear him laugh again.

At any rate, for the first time in many years, I have not been painting at all these days, but I will get back to it when my final exams are finished.  I have six new paintings I can't wait to finish, but I have to stay focused on getting these courses done.  Summer courses are twice the work in a short amount of time......

Water Daze, sunset reflections

"Water Daze"

Taking pictures while we were fishing on Lake Okeechobee, the sun went behind the clouds and peeked through here and there. It was cold and windy, but beautiful.
I just finished this last week. I wanted to capture that daydream feeling while staring at the patterns as the sun danced on the water. 

The painting continues on the sides, so framing is optional.

First Time For Everthing, foal running

"First Time for Everything"



Got great pictures of this new colt running around the paddock his first time out. He had a hard time getting here, and his mother almost didn't make it. One of the foal's legs came through the rectum and the other got hung up backwards.  The mare could not move around very well after being sown back together. They were kept in a stall until she could walk some.  

When he took off bucking and running around, she would call him back each time.  He would catch his breath and then take off again! It was way too cool to watch. He lives next door to me.

I was mostly interested in the backlighting and how it set him off.  The dust kicking up was also something I wanted to try to capture.  I exaggerated the background and moved things around to create more contrast because the sunset blurred so much of it out.  I think it is one of my best works!

Make a Wish, landscape with white horse

"Make a Wish"


This is just one of the wonderful scenes along Arbuckle Creek, near Sebring, Florida. I have painted many pieces from my photos of this area.


I added the white horse as a tribute to my mother, who always told me to "Quick make a wish on that white horse!"


I hid an opsprey flying out of the tree, and an anhinga sits on a limb in the water.
