Around the West and Back Again

I can't believe that my blog has gone this long without a post...but we have been using our RV - traveling the western US, specifically Colorado, New Mexico and Utah for 5 weeks. I have loads of painting subjects on my camera cards and can't wait to get to the studio.  But first, as you can imagine, our farmstead needs a little TLC and taming. It's been moving along - getting wilder and wilder by the day.

So - just as a reminder, some of my paintings are back online in my Etsy shop and also on Daily Paintworks - 2 shop venues I use.

Please visit them - if you have a moment.  Some of the prices have been reduced...so I can move some art and gear up for the next go round!

Great trip, good to be home....being in some of the hustle and bustle of the big cities we visited - makes me appreciate my 'country life' even more!  We also visited lots of state and national parks with wide open spaces that were beautiful!

Art on Sunday

I am working on a series for art note cards of dogs. Thought I would start with two very familiar breeds, Dachshunds and Weimaraners. I like the "zeroing" in part. These are quick pastels. If interested, check out my Etsy to buy them. They should be on there in a day or two. Thanks!

Where I Stand Sunday


This morning, I went for a small hike, as my DH and Weim had found some interesting animal tracks between the woods and the fields. I am standing over a definite "bigger cat" print, there were lots of them among the rabbit tracks. Gene had seen a bobcat earlier this fall coming up out of the pond slash/downed trees. After close inspection, these prints are lots bigger than ordinary house cat. There were some areas where you could see that the animal had rolled in the snow.
As I walked on, I thought I would show you the old windmill pump at the base of a non-operating windmill, adjacent to our property, which we would like to own someday.

As I walked around I noticed these kind of prints in several areas, at the end of a series of rabbit tracks. I can only imagine that this might be where it stops and surveys its travel path, or "thumps" or ??? If you have an idea, please leave me a comment!

As this year comes to an end, I look forward to the joy and luxury of more time to create art. I am headed to the studio today. Didn't sleep well early this morning because IDEAS started happening in my dreams and then my thoughts take over, wake me up and that's it, I had to get up and start on the ideas! I am working on some new Etsy designs. I love that when it happens! My muse is directing me today!

P.S. JUST FOR FUN...check out this blog. It's great!

Where I Stand Sunday is an ongoing photo essay examining the different places I spend my life standing. Too often we take for granted the everyday places we spend our lives walking on. If you'd like to join me by posting a photo on Sunday of places you've been on your blog/photo hosting site/website, leave a comment on this post telling me where I can find you/your photo and I'll add a link to my sidebar so others can find you and I will also let Fibra Artysta know, so she can you on her web sidebar if you'd like.

Adventures in Pyrography

 Last year about this time, I purchased a cheapo woodburning set and some little wood pieces and tried my hand at woodburning.  I made a few...
