Sage Runner, ACEO Oil Painting, Horse picture

This is a little Sage Runner. It was actually my horse Class. We turned her out in a pasture after having her with us on our two acres all summer. Boy did she run. She was having the time of her life. Two acres isn't much room for a thoroughbred so we take her to the mountains in winter and fall when feed gets short. It gives us a chance to love her up but lets her spend some free time also.

Robert is doing better after having his back fused. He still has a hard time regulating his body temp and he's either hot or cold, he's gettting bored from having to sit around so much. He's used to being outside working. But that's a good sign that he's feeling better. He can get tired from walking a block. Back fusions are not easy surgeries and he had an awful one. I think we're lucky we had Dr Schaeffer and Dr Dube doing the work. They're excellent doctors.

My next painting is a belgian draft horse and she's all mane and tail. I'm working on those long tangled strands of hair and trying to make her look cute under it all.

WIP 3rd installment, thoroughbred horse. Retired race horse.

Much better. I'm not going to work on this forever, so it's probably finished. I like having more color in the horse and less in the background. I hated the red so I was glad to see it go! Can't say I won't put some more color in the horse, it seems to give her more substance and she might need it. Her shoulder isn't quite right yet either, the line of it is to strong and unatural. So I suppose I'll go back into it again...Once I post things, I see more I want to do to them. :) Donna

Birthday party for a one year old.

One of our great grandsons had his first birthday party on Saturday. He's such a good little guy, and he's full of action, so it was...
