Bronco....the Super Star

Bronco
This past weekend, we drove "up to" Ostburg, WI for a "mini" horse show. Mini refers to the size of the horse not the size of the show. It was great fun. Emma and Skylar entered the "costume class" and the theme was "beach bums". Bronco is a super star, he didnt mind any of this.

How cute are the 3 of them.......of course to see more photos go here

Today I have to painted 2 "pet portraits" because I dont want to fall behind, as this weekend is Midwest Horse Fair, and we have tickets the the GrandPrix Jumping....Enjoy your Weekend....

Skylar and Emma


Skylar and Emma wearing their pony club hoodies....driving Bronco...the mini. It is finally drying up some here and some of the trails are in good shape.

On the other side....that is the art news.... I am starting up another { First Fifty Pet Portraits for $40. Dollars} so if you missed the first two this is what I do...


You send me a photo of your pet...{or if you know me and I have taken one you can use one I took} and when I say your Pet it can be your dog...cat...fish...bird....you name it and I paint a portrait either 6"x6" or 6"x8"...on archival canvas or gessoed board, using oil paint for $40. I will post the painting on my blog, and if you want it $40 that simple.....also this time I am offering larger sizes for additional fee. You can send the photo in jpeg format to me, but if you cant or dont want to do email attach....you can snail mail to me contact me for any further info or to get my address. I will post later some examples from last time I offered this.

But for now I have to give L'Mo the cat a bath, and finish and hopefully I can truly finish putting my office back together. I now, after about 40 hours , have the very large desk together, and walls are painted {photo coming soon, so we can talk about my color choice} but I have piles of stuff that need to be put away and "organized".....and if you remember from way back on New Years day post I talked about "organizing" my office....well it has been going very slow...not only finding time to "do it" but the desk was on back order for over 5 weeks, and well on and on....

Ashley and Hanna
Hanna is my mare, Ashley is my friend/trainer who at this time is riding Hanna, way more than I am. They get along more than great.....Ashley is one of the very few people that I would want to ride Hanna, because she understands her and is a very sensitive rider. Because of some arthritis issues it has been well over a year since she has been in work, and she is looking great {hanna the horse that is...not Ashley}. Have many many more pics that I took yesterday so check them out HERE More on the Horse News.....I will be moving the other two guys....Trapper, and Emma's Buddy on Friday, they will be going over to Wind Point Farm in Caledonia....right on the trails....cant wait. It has been way too many years since I have been lucky enough to be on the right of way and cant wait.....I know Emma and I will be spending our weekends and summer just having fun.

TWO DAYS IN A ROW....


Yes, it is true, I have now posted on my blog two days in a row...... but enough patting my self on the back.... more horse stuff ....since getting Buddy for Emma's 11th birthday present, I have been pretty busy with that whole part of my life, often times feeling just a bit overwhelmed. Does that sound somewhat familiar. Recently moved Hanna to a new horse stable ...Whistlejacket and the two geldings will be moving just down the road, at the end of this month.

PRINCESS BELLA

OK....If you know me you are saying "another cat ",  but yes I now have 4.  Bella came to us because she was a barn cat  barn Kitty  and before she could get "fixed"   she became   pregnant.  So we brought her home thinking she will have the kittens in about 3 weeks.....anyway she is very cute and very lovable, and as you can see is adapting  well to inside house cat.  See more photos on my photo site HERE
