Catching Up!

So, the title of this blog says alot! I had to put War Emblem on hold for awhile as I suddenly had some projects come up that took precedence over something for myself. The first and biggest was home remodeling, which of course my husband did most of because I had a commission to finish for a birthday. I then had two projects for charity to finish! So, my plate was full when it came to time for web work and blogging!
I wanted to post the three projects that I have finished in the time from the last blog and between the house work. The first that I have here is my piece for the Woodford Humane Society's Freedomfest. It's titled "Silks of Pin Oak". Tomorrow is the preview party and July is the actual event. It's alot of fun!

Next up is my Barbaro sketch that will be used for prints for other charity events that I have donations planned for. He is in graphite and charcoal!

Finally is my commission of Student Council. It is 30x24" oil on canvas. It was done for a birthday, so I had some time constraints, in addition to some humidity problems! Needless to say I am so happy with the way it turned out considering some added stresses!
Student Council is the Grade I winner of the Pimlico Special and Pacific Classic. He is owned by Millenium Farm and was trained by Steve Asmussen. He was such a neat horse to be around and it was a pleasure getting to paint this commission!

Thanks for the wait! Hopefully I will have a somewhat normal schedule, but there is still some house work to finish! I hope to be posting more updates soon!
