Here are the two Aquabord™ pieces I managed to complete at the Stallion Expo. I really like doing these at shows because I can stop a watercolor at just about any point to talk to whoever comes along with a question. Oils are a different story. Speaking of which, I’ve got a large canvas stretched and with drawing complete, waiting for me to get going on it today. It’s going to be a huge version of one of the Orange Float Aquabord™ paintings. Can’t wait to see what happens–just hoping it will be really good. No matter how it goes, I’ll post some photos when I’ve made some progress. There’s a juried show coming up with submission deadline mid-April that I think would be perfect for this painting, if only I can get it done in time and, of course, it looks absolutely smashing!
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.

I hope so too! I’d hate to have to post photos of a dud! Although if that happened, I would be honest and do it.

yes; you’re right, and everyone learns from the mistakes, and they will/would respect you even more that you say, ‘hey! this is who i am!’ (you won’t have a dud!)
