Escaping pony and commissions

Today has been a hectic day, working from home as had the farrier out. My smallest, Spyder, (and eldest, so should probably know better!!) didn't need doing as he was only trimmed a couple of weeks ago whilst at my parents, so I rather un-wisely left him in the field. Spyder decided that, actually, he would rather come in and cause trouble, so at what I can only describe as lightening speed, shot underneath the electric fence gate and decided to tear around the yard upsetting B and Ellie and looking very pleased with himself!!!

Art wise, I am currently working on a commission in coloured pencil which is very nearly finished. I am aiming at working on this tonight and hopefully having it completed before the weekend. I also have an oil painting on the go, which has been put to one side for rather a while, and I really need to resurrect it!

I recently discovered a small pad of acrylic paper, which is rather like textured cardboard, and wanted to do a series of small drawings using this, so I am also currently working on (hopefully) the first of a series of foal drawings.

First Things First

I thought I would begin my blog by adding some images of previous works, it seemed the best place to start, and also allows me to work out how to use the Blog!! In doing so I have realised though that some of the images I have saved I have managed to overwrite in wierd and wonderful sizes, so I think I will be getting the digital camera out again this weekend!!
