Thankfully, the second phrase describes my current condition.

Nikita 3″ x 3″
This is Nikita. She lives at Southlands Farm. I am very lucky to have a barn full of horses just 10 minutes away, that I can visit whenever I want.

Yay, I’m painting!
It has been a very unproductive year for painting. When I sat down to work on these, I wasn’t sure I’d remember how. For the most part, I am pretty happy with them.

This is the last of the tiny paintings. It’s time to move on to some larger projects.

It has begun. The assembly line of tiny paintings for Christmas. A very slow, one woman assembly line.
Jericho Park
Fall Shadows 8″ x 8″
Here is yet another tree from Jericho Park. I am so lucky to have this park practically in my backyard. You can see an amazing variety of wildlife on any given day. I have seen: ducks, geese, eagles, herons, bats, harbour seals, rabbits, squirrels, beavers, turtles, racoons, frogs, crabs, all kinds of birds and even a coyote once. Perhaps choosing a tree to paint is a little boring…
