Welcome

Welcome to my blog! I have been thinking about doing a blog for quite awhile and finally decided to "just do it!" I want to share my art with you....not just how I do, but why I do it. What motivates my work, what is important to me, and what inspires me to paint. On that note, I have included a little graphic self-portrait in progress that I call "The Muse." I have been lucky enough to work with several equine rescue groups, and have had the opportunity to visit with some of their horses. The little nurse mare foal in the drawing was extremely curious about my sketch book and pencil. There were actually several of the nosy, little critters "helping" me to sketch. I was visiting Pure Thoughts Horse and Foal Rescue in Florida in 2008 when they took in a group of orphan nurse mare foals. Pure Thoughts is planning another nurse mare foal rescue in the upcoming weeks, and I plan to follow the "baby train" as it makes its way from Kentucky to Florida sharing thoughts and sketches with you.

So that is a little about me. In my next entry I will answer the question that many of you may be asking to yourselves, "What is a nurse mare foal, anyway?"
