Archive - July 2007 On Shaky LegsPosted Jul-31-07 12:51:50 PDT I've decided to try my hand at painting a few horses--something quite new for me. My current auction is the first foal I have painted in full body. I did an ACEO of a colt's head and face a while ago, but this is the first body. I love the young ones with the long legs and short bodies, short necks. This one is Shaman who was born at an animal rescue in central Texas which is also where I got my Border Collie Brooke. So I am venturing into new territory, as always. If it isn't a different medium, it's a different subject. It's so true. Variety is the spice of life. And so again, like Shaman, I find myself on shaky legs. You can click on vernitatxart above to see my oil painting of Shaman on Shaky Legs. "Wet Paint!" Plein Air Painter DachshundPosted Jul-21-07 21:51:57 PDT Hello Everybody! It has been raining again in Southeast Texas. The already scorching temperatures of 95-96 degrees are exhausting when coupled with the high humidity. Our heat index has been 105 degrees for at least a couple of days--the two days when I needed to be outside for part of the day. My body screams, "Too hot!" Too hot for plein air painting. So ... I improvise. I paint a plein air Dachshund puppy who is colorfully obsessed with painting. This is where I am. This is me. Paw in wet paint.

Cowboy Doxie ~ New to eBay blogging!Posted Jul-20-07 04:56:10 PDT This is my Cowboy Doxie on a current auction that will end on July 22. Please bear with me here while I learn about eBay blogging. I've blogged on other venues for years, but this looks a bit more "live" than I'm accustomed to. Thank you, kind soul, for messaging me to turn on my comments. You were right. I had no idea they were set to off. Geez, I thought nobody liked me with all those "no comment" markers showing. ;^)  SANTA BABY Dachshund ~ July 20-30 AuctionPosted Jul-19-07 21:06:19 PDT Dachshund in Hat No. 5, "SANTA BABY Dachshund" ~ This Dachshund pup wears a jingle bell Santa Hat and spectacles.
