I love to paint the relationship we humans have with our four legged friends. Nothing better to view then the love and respect we have for them. While yes, we are the care givers to these magnificent creatures, they give so much themselves…and they teach us soooo much and of course….they listen…listen to all of our secrets.

Sometimes you just have to stop what you are doing and take a break…have a nice cup of tea and put your feet up….relax. Close your eyes for a bit…yep, an afternoon Tea Time break.

Today finds me still working on horses….beautiful creatures! This is a WIP…the early stages at that. Just colors blocked in….that leaves me painting several at the same time. Keeps me from getting bored. Lots to do this afternoon and I am afraid I must turn my attention to parts of running a business that I find the least amusing….but someone has to do it and since it is just me…tag I’m it I will mange some time with the puppies for it looks a little over cast….more agility, will manage a few images and post them later on.

I have been teaching Rocky agility….slow going due to his pano (growing pains…causes the dog to suffer joint pain). We actually stopped for a while….he has been pain free for a couple of months. Still….introducing things slowly….more for fun and light exercise and attention. Had my camera with me this afternoon….now really this is a challenge being both the handler and photographer…especially with a dog that needs the handler by his side. Used the clicker and did a couple of practice runs….slowly building up our distance to one another….then managed a couple of shots. He did a great job of it….although if you look closely at the last frame…I started getting up to get out of his way….good thing the old knees worked for that would have been ugly

Another lovely day here in the Atlanta area, sunny low 70’s. More outside fun with the puppies, worked on several paintings including this new one which is still very much a WIP. What a lovely and peaceful scene…..”Peace & Tranquility”.

If you look close enough you will notice that on the mat it states 2007….a week into the new year and I am still writing and typing 2007 !!!

Attempted to clean up this site and redo the forum….work on the shopping cart so that I can start classes once again….Grrrr. I am thinking to get this whole thing running smoothly I will have to redo much of it. Not having fun and all I am doing is thinking about it Needing a web guru to fix the many things I am not crazy about… Really nothing too difficult, a site with an easy to update shopping cart, blog…easy to use gallery, I swear I cannot remember how to add a new gallery….looks like the old site was much more user friendly.

I did my best to bring everything together to make it easy for my dear friends and clients to look around at what we offer, easy to purchase paintings, photography sessions….coming soon our very own forum…..a place for photography students to go….classes can also be given online. I am still working on adding the store and putting together the site, so have any suggestions…..feel free in telling us about them.

Only fitting that the first portrait completed since Phoenix was this lovely painting. I hope their love, respect is clearly viewed with each brushstroke. I could not help but think of my beloved Phoenix when painting this portrait!

Lovely horse, stay tuned for I hope to have this complete with in the next few days!

Nothing better then early morning light.

This painting is not for sale.
