I can't believe its been 2 months since my last post! I've been busy getting the drawings for the Coors Western Art Show and Sale ready and am just finishing up the two small pieces for the silent auction, which only the people that attend opening night will see. The photo I've attached is an attempt at a quick snapshot as it was going out the door to be delivered. The angle makes everything look a little weird, but I will post a proper image once I get one. This drawing is very large and very complicated as you can see. It didn't help that he is holding a reata which are the least favorite things to draw in the entire world. (besides rein chains)

We did take a week and go to Hawaii for some R and R before the full court press that is the Coors every year. Kayaked for the first time and did a lot of snorkeling, which I love. Came home to a dreadful snow storm that became a mini-blizzard the closer we got to our house. Rude welcome home after being in the 80's all week.

I'm going to start painting after the holidays and if you never see any of them on here, its because it didn't go so well! Just kidding! It may take a long time, but I know that I can do it (eventually) and am looking forward to the challenge.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!!
