Another short post, because as the title says, I’m cutting it close! Got one more Aquabord™ to do in the next 6 days. Hope I make it, but I also have a lot of riding to catch up on since I got major sidetracked with an actual day job all this week. Don’t get much else done when I’m doing my occasional news-hound job, but I did find out today that I got nominated for an Emmy. Now just have to sit back and see if the nomination wins! Oh, and I also spent a heck of a lot of time packaging my 50 sets of new note cards with cute little ribbons. Got the job done, but it was truly beyond tedious!
Charm, showing off the only braids that will stay in her endless mane.

For not the first time, but maybe the last time, I have started a "home business". The difference with this one is that it is one I really enjoy. I've drawn and painted horses since I was (at least) five years old--that's the earliest one that my mother saved.By the time I entered my teens, Mother had grown a bit tired of the subject and urged me to do something else with my artwork besides horses. I followed her advice and never looked back until ten years ago when it occurred to me that people might actually pay for horse portraits. I have had many exhibits of my landscapes, and sold a good number of them--but not enough to provide any kind of steady income.
I'm hoping that if I work hard and market this business well I will be able to delight my customers, make some money, and have a lot of fun doing it.

How exiting for you on so many front, Alli! An Emmy nomination – really? So cool! It’s also great to hear about (and see) your progress on the water boards and note card introduction. I look forward to ‘seeing you live’ at one of these events in the near future.

I guess the “live” appearance will depend on how far west you can come and how far east I am willing to go! 🙂

Wow congrats on your Emmy nomination! That will be fun to add to your resume! These horses you’ve painted are absolutely beautiful and so expressive. I love the sense of movement I feel when I look at this piece. Wonderful work and best of luck to you! 🙂

Thanks Polly! Each of these little paintings seems to be getting better. I’m gaining more control over the medium, for one thing. And I’m really glad I got quite a few photos of cavorting horses on that one special warm day last March!
