Samantha, that is amazing! If I could like your post 100 times, I would!

You are very talented! Meanwhile I will go back to what I'm good at... drawing stick people and milking goats

Thank you so much! I will give you lessons if you give me lessons! LOL!!! I just milked my first anything a couple weeks ago and have another year to go before I will have to actually do it I am sooooo in trouble!

Thanks. It's mixed media, pastel and colored pencils. It's hard to find time to draw these days.

My attempts at oil painting are atrocious lol. All about practice.

Oooo sorry! Looking closer at it I can see that now I know how that is... I tried starting up a portrait business and logos and it is easier to do that in the winter to be honest... Now I just got invited to a dog rescues craft show in November by someone I worked with through the rescue and I HAVE to get some done and I am going to get prints made of them so I can have the original and i will have less work to do That way I will know the popular ones and can make more of them.... We will see.... I will bring one in as a tester to see if I like how they would look and go from there. Then making the frames is an entirely different story...

Yes it is... and my painting skills are.... not quite as developed as my pencil and colored pencil

I have a part time job that is physically demanding, a bunch of sheep and chickens and two LGD pups who are determined to chew up everything I own. It's hard especially now (hot at work and home) to get any art done. Below a quick piece. I'm always self conscious about horses as I'm not familiar w anatomy.

Wow! that is amazing!

I work full time 8.5 hours a day with a 3 hour round trip commute then goats, dogs and rabbits. Not mentioning the needy house cat... Both of our dogs, Collie(16 months) and Pyr/bernard(10 months) are that way... they take my stuff when I turn around for a split second and chew it up. Like water jug caps for the rabbits, dishes for the rabbits, my favorite is my knife and pliers handles.... the big lug of a pyr mix shattered my second water bucket for the goats by flipping over onto it. Do you have the issues of them running right into you because they do not pay attention to where they are going or is that just my big oaf LOL! You know what they say though, If you can survive their puppyhood you will have an outstanding dog!

Sounds like you have your hands full. I'm busy but glad to be living a rural life. Time to go check

With frustrating hand tremors, I have turned my focus to photography. Here is a breathtaking sunset I got this past Spring, as we waited for a major thunderstorm headed our way. This is looking West, toward Dallas. It seems it was a freak combination of the sun setting behind thunder clouds, reflecting off the raindrops.

I happened to walk into our office, that evening, and it looked like the sky was on fire! It reminded me of a smoke filled sky, when there is a massive forest fire.
