Thanks, Deb. The horse portrait was of one of a wild mustang we worked with several years ago. There are speed limits in Montana. A few years ago the Federal government threatened to pull funding if Montana did not set speed limits. We live in between two mountain ranges in the western part of Montana. I think the eastern part of Montana where the land is flatter is the area most people associate with "big skies". That is not to say the skies aren't dramatic here. Glad you are having such warm weather. We are currently at 17. The past 5 nights have been below zero. Enjoy your work. The little ladies you paint look very dear to you.

Thanks for looking at my site. I just loaded the sunflower painting to my page so take a look. I chose that for the background because it was sunshine on a cloudy wintry day!

Hi Deb,

Thanks for the compliment! I love your work too!  I
don't have much on there at the moment, because I have always done
pieces for others and never photographed anything!   The other result
of being that kind of painter is not really honing in on any particular
style..I just do whatever I am asked to do, unless the inspiration
moves me, (like the piece "a walk to heaven", which was also for someone else, a wedding
gift.    I'm working on a comprehensive portfolio now, because I'm
finally 'serious'..HA!  So, you're living abroad?  I'd like to hear
more about your journeys.  I lived in France once upon a time.

Deb - thanks for the nice note.

Before I went full-time like you, I asked an artist friend who had made a good living painting for 25 years, how I could become become a better artist. He said "That's easy - quit your day job." I laughed and said "No, really."  He replied "I mean it - quit your day job - you'll get much better real fast!"

He was right.

Congratulations on having the guts to leave your day job - I applaud you.

Hi Deb,

 Thank you so much for the welcome to scuttlebutt!  I really enjoy your work as well!  Do you run your own studio? How long have you been a part of this site?

Hi Deb,

Thought I'd let you know that I added my first blog entry - a little piece about why I moved to Africa and started painting. Hope yout enjoy it!
