I took this photo years ago at a Custer Battlefield re-enactment in Montana around 1992...little did I know it would serve me well 25 years later! OMG...did I just say that! Well better than 50 years later...huh! They were just what I was looking for. Western themed juried art show in Wyoming. Hope I get in!

Here is the music

The challenge this week on Daily Paintworks is to paint a cat. In honor of Halloween next week it had to be black! I loved this photo by Kairen Jamieson. The light coming thru the fur and ears is so bright. The eyes were tough to get green enough! Painting and photographing black paintings is such a challenge!

This is another painting of the interior of the Hornbek Homestead around Florissant, Colorado. The light streaming in the window on to the little pantry space was so wonderful. I'm thinking of the woman who used the washboard and mended the clothes. 

I think I have titled more paintings with Bruce's tunes than another other musician! Always about the workin man or WOMAN! hahaha

Here is the music

Driving around Colorado last summer I took this photo of the interior of the Hornbek Homestead around Florissant. The house and the barns were remarkably preserved. The light coming through the window was amazing. Makes me wonder about the people and the goings on there.

Here is the music...It is stuck in my head...haven't heard this one in a long time.

It's Me That You Need- Elton John

The challenge this week is the curious cow! I saw this photo on Photos for Artists by Robin Leath and had to paint it. They are surely curious creatures.

I have wanted to paint some old campers for awhile. When Tim and I went to Amarillo a few weeks ago, we went to a RV museum there! I went crazy taking pics and loved this little red one with the Coca Cola cooler. I have few more planned!

September 2016- The 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

Here is a collage I created on PicMonkey of the paintings I managed to paint for the 30 in 30 challenge. My theme was umbrellas...with a few of the Daily Paintworks challenges thrown in. I only managed to do 12 paintings, ( I had to leave one off for balance!), but I would have done far fewer without this challenge.
