More Photo Play

Having fun with some of my older photos again. It was the only thing I felt like doing when I was sick this week. I'm happy to report I'm on the mend now and even finished a sign I started last week (see end of post).

Listening to Christmas music to get me in the mood to paint more! 

Click on the LINK to my Christmas playlist so you can get in the spirit too!

Several of these images will be available in my Cafepress Shop. 

Dressage Holiday Cards...

And finally my sweet Shire sign...

"Do these ornaments make my butt look big?"

Assateague

We just got back from 5 days in Ocean City, MD. Of course I can't go to the beach without a visit to Assateague Island. When I hopped out of the car to photograph a pony, this doe jumped out of nowhere, right into the shot! You can't believe how excited I was! 

An adorable little foal and his mom hanging out by the road.

Ponies, ponies everywhere. Evening seems to be the best time to go.

The wildflowers and dragon flies were also pretty.

Unfortunately my camera broke right after this last shots.

Ponies, Sunflowers and Butterflies

"Assateague Reflection"

It's been a productive weekend or me. I finished an acrylic painting of a wild pony in the marshlands. At least I think I finished, always room for improvement, right? It's from a photo I took on Assateague Island last week, an experience that I found particularly moving. They'll be swimming the ponies soon from Assateague to Chincoteague, I would love to go someday and buy a colt or filly. Just to be able to go and take photos would be a real treat!

Here's a tiny butterfly that was in my garden this morning. She's the size of a fingernail!

She held still long enough for me to get a picture.

Love this sunflower in front of my house. I planted a ton of them this year,

 last year they were eaten by groundhogs.

Question Mark Butterfly in the garden. He was feasting on my split tomatoes.

 They love rotting fruit. The name comes from that tiny little white marking on the lower part of the wing.

Happy Sunday :o)
