Beautiful simplicity! And I can't believe that's you breaking a board!! Spending time with friends and family is MUCH more important than being tied to the computer all the time, which is how I'm feeling some days. I have to consider taking this thing OUT of the studio! Glad you one a prize for your work (well deserved!) and sold internationally for the first time. Make sure they pay the shipping (I shipped a painting to Gibraltor a couple of months ago and it cost $800!! I didn't have to pay it fortunately! ). Now you can put "internationally known artist" on your resume:-)Karen Martin Sampsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15180294856179918446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320847148928421544.post-50176773872470025932011-03-29T14:24:51.603-07:002011-03-29T14:24:51.603-07:00Hurray!

It's so nice that you included some photo's too :0)<br />I think that you have the right idea to post once a week. It's much easier for us groupies to keep up and not miss a thing, lol!<br />That's what I do. I used to post more but found myself spending more time on the PC than on actual paintings and also sacrificing too much family time too. It's nice to keep a healthy balance! <br />What's new with me? Well, I attempted a pencil portrait of my Dad and it's one of the few things I have done that I am thrilled with! And, so was he - I gave it to him for his birthday :0)<br />I'm so glad you are back and will be looking forward to next weeks post! The mare is gorgeous! :0DSandra Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622208510609673242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320847148928421544.post-34242406371300455042011-03-29T12:21:12.265-07:002011-03-29T12:21:12.265-07:00Crystal...?

I started doing things I've always wanted to do this year but was afraid I'd get hurt and couldn't work (or something stupid like that). I went snow shoeing. I'm entering my first art show in August.
