Debra, these are beautiful! Keep going!

Well..... since you asked.
This was one other that would qualify as portrait. We have a pony express ride every year and I run out to catch them all at the post office and local watering hole (literally: they have horse tying facilities!)

The children were 9x12, but this and most of the others are 12x16"

Thank you for your encouragement, but I warn you I did three yesterday to burn me out. I think I am over it because I seem to have a sort throat, but I thought I would stop about a week ago!!

Wonderful, Debra! Have you done any more? No pressure--just curious.

What a lovely morning wake up!

Thank you all.
I had a really inspiring couple of months getting ready for a holiday onslaught, but nothing materialized, so I had to go back to the pets.

I have a string of animal charities I am involved with. Last night was the Arizona zoo keepers assn. at the zoo, last weekend was a rescue group and Halloween pet parade, next week is the "Animal Heros" awards and then a three day art festival. All I do is give out cards and info and auction one gift certificate for the equivalent of an 8x10 pastel or watercolor.

This year I tried a miniature painting on a time limit. Doing a 5x7" watercolor with mat that I will not offer after Halloween. BUT hopefully the rest of the information will get people aware of the holidays to come before there is no time to do anything!

Last night was a great . ONE potential baby but five horses and two dog discussions.

I think I posted my two other portraits in this blast of work in pastel elsewhere but I will dig them up again if you missed them!!!
