I finally finished my horses! This is a terrible picture of the finished project, but I will update it after I get the 'good shot' from Don Kline. This picture was taken on my easel and there is a terrible glare in the upper left. Last night I went to Valley Gallery and picked up the prints I had done from the horse painting. I wasn't even sure if the paint was dry when I took it in, but I was in such a hurry because I wanted to have them for the 12th Anniversary Festival that the Gallery is putting on this weekend. I am going to have a tent on the outside of the gallery, next to the radio station, albeit country! But also close to the church food, yes! I bought my tent at Sam's Club and can hardly pick it up. I should have started this festival stuff back when I was a lot younger. Jack and I are taking the tent out tomorrow afternoon to set it up. I am excited. The 'Lake Fest' was the only other festival I've been in.
So, I started another horse painting just yesterday and I am loving it so far. I shouldn't say that, might jinx it. But this one is all about the horse and background contrast. You will see! While I was driving through the Amish territory to get to Don's gallery yesterday, I came across some Amish men on a big plow or manure spreader hooked to 4 big horses and the dust was flying! They were beautiful but I couldn't take their picture because it wouldn't be polite and then, less than 1/4 of a mile further, I saw an Amish school house with all the little children running across the field and down lanes to their homes following a long day at school. They were perfect but again, I couldn't disrespect them by taking a picture. You know, I couldn't help thinking to myself, I wonder why those cute little kids are still in school an hour after out kids are already home.
Hmmm, I wonder if their teacher's evaluation is made up in part by how well their student's do on their test scores. I wonder if that teacher has had every inch of her creative ability sucked out of her very being by some pompous bureaucrat who thinks that a well rounded student is one who scores the highest.
Oh, wow, where did that come from? Time for bed, kiddies!
