Last May, and then again in October, we went to four-day riding and training clinics with our favorite horse expert, Chris Ellsworth. They took place at our friend Jody's place near Placerville, and Jody let us stay in her house there. She has become a good friend, and we see her nearly every day because she has two horses boarded at the same place as ours, and Rocky, her Tennessee Walker shares a pen with our horse, Zim. Rocky is a very friendly horse, and I enjoy seeing him whenever I go to get Zim. Jody has done plenty of nice things for us, so I did this painting of Rocky to give to her.
In my painting class, I spent a day working on my painting of Rocky instead of the class project, which was a little kitten peeking through a hole in a concrete wall. Then last week, I would have started on the kitten, but Ron had put out copies of a photo of some flowers to be used for next week's project, a fast, loose painting. Ron doesn't mind if we don't follow his schedule, so I went ahead and painted the flowers a week early. I spent about an hour on this, and I think it came out pretty good, considering the time spent.
