Poured paint for the next Skypads piece last night. Maybe because I did it at night it got quite a bit darker than I had intended? Colors were also more saturated. No matter, the operating principle here is to take what the paint gives you and forge ahead. I will also ignore the extra helping of gnats that settled on the canvas when I put it outside to dry. They leave teensy gray trails when you brush their carcasses off, but nobody will see that when more layers of paint go on. Now people are going to start calling me a gnat murderer–but hey, it was their decision to land in wet paint…
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.
