I have been working on a commissioned stall plate for the daughter of a client. It won’t be delivered until September, and I can’t show it to you before then. Let’s just say its a…brown horse.
I will mention that it will be a full-size head-only portrait, unlike the previous stall plates which have been horses in motion. That helps a lot, right?
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.

If I weren’t such a cheapskate I would pay for an upgraded WordPress blog which would allow me to post videos. Then I could create some spectacular animation for you while I procrastinated about working on the stall plaque!
