Horses, House, Surprises, and Cave,

Bet you will be happy to hear, that I think,

I am done painting for now.

I need to start getting all I have done ready

for the craft show. Pricing which I am still not

sure about, checking to see if I need to cover

up any spots with paint, paint the back of the 

door hangers and seal. Seal all the objects

 that need sealing, put yard, ribbon, 

rope, saw teeth or whatever for hanging.

Wrap and pack.

Anyway, I thought I would paint a pic I

took of some horses. 

Keep in mind, what I paint NEVER looks like

what the pic looks like.

Also, keep in mind, when you are sittingBut

up close to a pic you are painting it sometimes

becomes hard to see what is in front of your

face. But before I move on to that let me tell you

about the horse on the right, it was supposed to 

be dirty white. That was hell to paint.

And if you notice, it did not stay

white. I had issues doing the shading

and stuff without it taking over.

I decided that it would be brown.

The horse on the left was

already painted brown. Here is where the 

not seeing up close, I totally missed

that the nose was REALLY long, but 

did not see that till I took the pic and 

looked at it.

After that, I took it back to the drawing 

board, or in this case, painting board!

I shorthened the nose.

Still was not liking it.

 The bottom section of the jaw, seemed too much. 

So, I tried again.

Still not there, but I am done.

Thinking I will stay away from horses

for a bit.

This challenged me.

Next, I threw this out one

evening. It is a pic I took yrs

ago as I was driving down a 

back road where I lived.

When I posted the pic on FB

a friend, that I used to go to school

with said it was on her property.

I did not know where she lived at

the time. Later on, I became the

feeder, and snuggler with her

cats. She is like the other Pam

from the post yesterday, her name

is Pam also. Us Pam's are the sweetest.

Anyway, I decided that Pam is to get

this painting.

It is on a piece of wood, so I will

need to put a hanger on it.

  

Moving on to some more painting,

little pieces.

They are called the little surprises

around my house.

This one is on the back door. 

If you can't tell, it is one that part of

the door that you don't see, unless you

open the door.

The next one, since I have the quote,

"There's no place like home",

on the front door, I decided the 

ruby slippers should also be on the door.

Ivy has been painted on the door

frame going into the washroom.

Some on the bottom and 

Some on the top.

But the door had to get the hidden

ivy also.

The coat closet behind the front door.

The linen closet outside my

bedroom.

This was my first piece.

Behind the bathroom door in 

the guest BR. Mermaid tails and 

an octopus.

I hope that folks that come to stay

will love finding the funny surprises around

the house.

Craft Cave is coming along, SLOWLY.

Back in the fall when I bought the desk to 

redo for Amber, I got two iron chairs for 

five bucks each. I recovered the seat, and since

 I will be sitting a lot crafting, I put extra CUSH

in it.

Painted it purple and put the 

cushion in.

I moved my antique kitchen table

into the shed....oh, that is not right, 

DJ and Justin his friend moved it 

for me.

Also, got them to move the piece I 

put together out to the shed. Gotta paint

the sewing machine cabinet and 

stain the shelves. 

But those pieces have been added.

Trying to get things set up and its 

an never ending mess. 

lol

By the way, I still have to take pics of some of the 

things I have already painted.

LOL
