It’s continued to be an uphill battle finding painting time, but there’s finally some consistent production at my easel!  I have been spending more time visiting Heart of Tucson where I get a lot of photos of the rescued horses. They’re doing amazing things at HOT, saving many horses from the brink of slaughter, caring for them and rehoming them… it has surprised me that so many are mares and foals.   With all these cute babies, some were bound to end up on canvas!  This is the start of my Heart of Tucson series of paintings which I hope to make available to sell as prints for the rescue’s benefit in the near future.

“Sandbox Jollies”  12″ x 24″ oil on canvas

Because I’ve been so limited in my productivity, I’ve been working on this one at a snails pace since July, so as a bonus for following along with my slow summer, I’m posting this as a work in progress… albeit sloooow progress.  It’s a racing scene with some nice dynamic action, something I hope to do more of.  I’m just crossing my fingers in hopes that I can finish it before October!  Enjoy a sneek peek…
