I always found a horse incredibly difficult for me to draw. It is something about their legs! My sisters were born with the eye as was my son Dan who could draw any cartoon character free style perfect.

He was a great teacher. Like Cher, my paints would go into shock...I do have a couple projects I got frustrated with and put away. That was about 3 yrs. ago.<br />Maybe after the Christmas celebrating~~~~I'll stop snoozing.<br />Can't wait to see your owl in person. It's looking great.<br />Have a great evening with Darhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642092433299872708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430574198775498108.post-20839789574778692902010-12-22T19:28:05.815-06:002010-12-22T19:28:05.815-06:00I'm loving watching you work with oils.

I love the painting and of course backgrounds are optional (ha). The wood is the background, I like it the way it is.<br /><br />I will get my stuff out of the basement in Florida, if it is warm!!!<br /><br />Love to all, enjoyed the post!jack69https://www.blogger.com/profile/12884137603402812926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430574198775498108.post-10408426101126442962010-12-22T17:06:02.574-06:002010-12-22T17:06:02.574-06:00Great job Mel.

My oils, acrylics, pastels, charcoals etc have been in hibernation for so long I think they'd go into ""shock"" if I actually started using them. <br />MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and yours!! <br />'love and hugs from afar'Cher' Shotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14946818491901881410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430574198775498108.post-930034288071676492010-12-22T16:17:29.261-06:002010-12-22T16:17:29.261-06:00I've D's water colours and acrylics that I...I've D's water colours and acrylics that I don't know what to do with ... some say I should try my hand. I'm not terribly artsy in the drawing department but one day I just may sit down and give it a try.
