Today, my husband and I drove to Dallas and back home. It was a long trip for us, so I didn't get any painting done. But...as we drove down the highway, I spotted a magnificent longhorn bull. Dutch took the next exit and drove back to the pen where he was grazing. I hopped out of the pick-up and started snapping pictures. I got some really good ones of him. I have been wanting to do some longhorn paintings and now I think I have the material I need.
Tomorrow I submit six of my paintings to the art show in Hobbs, New Mexico. I am very excited about this show. I'll let you know how it goes.
Kindest regards,
Nancy Verschoor
