Whoa

I belong to several art teams and groups, all of them filled with wonderful artists and crafters: EHAG (Halloween art), PFATT(folk art), Whoa Ebay Group (horse art) & Whoa Etsy Team to name a few. I wish I had time to be more active in these groups but I do what I can, when I can.

Over a year ago I read an article about a group of artists that mailed a sketchbook around to each other. I thought this was such a fun idea and bought a sketchbook for my horse art group with the idea that we could pass it around and auction it off for a horse charity when it was completed. Along the way we hit a few snags. It got held up for various reasons (including my own). I am so happy to say that all the artists who wanted to participate now have their sketches and artwork complete and it will be up for auction soon! I finished my work just this afternoon and I wanted to share.
Here is the link to see all the sketches. Please scroll down and click on "older posts" so you get to see every one's work. This book has made quite a journey and we are all so proud of each other!

Here are two of my sketches...




PS. I saw this squirrel outside my dining room windor this morning and he made me laugh. Just had to share...

Team Giveaway and New Work



I'm happy to announce that Whoa Team, an Etsy horse art group, is having it's first of many monthy giveaways. To enter you must visit the Whoa Team Blog and leave a comment on the giveaway post. We have three wonderful prizes to win! I'm giving away a pendant, Artwolf has donated a purse mirror & magnet and De La Renaissance will be giving away two lovely prints.
Each month stop back to see what our next giveaway will be!


On a seperate note, I've added a few new pieces to Ebay. My favorite one is this miniature, ACEO size (2.5" x 3.5") painting of a bay thoroughbred. My inspiration came from a photo I took during a sidesaddle class at Devon a few years ago.



And to those who were curious, we did see Coraline on Saturday and it was excellent!
My husband fell asleep somewhere in the middle so maybe it's not a film to drag your dh to but I thought it was absolutely gorgeous. They Might Be Giants even did a fun song for it. You can hear the main theme song on my playlist on the sidebar of this blog. It is hauntingly beautiful!
