In Memory of Vanyel Painted for the Mural Mosaic

2008-06-21T08:21:00.000-07:00

Painting done for the Mural Mosaic project The Gift Horse. This is a neat project put together by a few artists. It is one of several huge murals. The mural is a painting that is divided into 200 plus segments (panels), they are sent to various artists around the world. The artists then paint a subject (in this case the horse) in keeping with the original color and line of the mother image. The artists then send the painting they created back to the project where it is assembled back into the mural. The hundreds of smaller paintings then turn back into the mother image. The enjoyment of looking at each of the paintings as individuals together making one big picture is very rewarding. It is an honor to be part of such a project, and I really enjoyed it. It then is unveiled in Alberta Canada, and goes on a tour to be shown in several places. I only wish I could be in Alberta for the unveiling. I hope to be able to go to one of the spots on the tour. The horse I painted was a beautiful Friesian Stallion "Vanyel." He passed away in 2005 and is greatly missed. I am happy to have captured his beautiful image for all to see. I love the black feathered horses. I love all horses, but the Friesians seem special to me, maybe because they somehow remind me of morgans, (like an extreme verson), so it brings back the feelings I had as a girl for my morgan "Andy" he was a friend to me.

I am feeling rather blue today..dear friend is having medical problems..cannot get her out of my mind......
Weather has been great..but it is turning more and more summer, I liked the cool beginning, wish it would stay..
It is harder to "get in to" my artwork with a heavy heart, but I have to, it is a must..need to post some photos some of my work in case someone stumbles into my blog..thousands of these things..hard to zero in to just one little spot..

Just wondering if there is anyone out there visiting. Youuu whooo?? Anyone there??? I sit here in my jammies, ready to watch tv in my SPOT on the couch, and wind the day down so as to maybe get a good night sleep..man they seem hard to come by..I wake up so early..I don't seem to get anything constructive done lately..I did some ironing for a close friend, she may think I did something constructive;o)..I have been trying to find out just what DR I can go to and be covered by this damn insurance we pay a fortune for, and that is so maddening..I end up ready to jump into the phone or computer..ya get so ticked off!! ( to put it mildly) I have 4 commissions to paint, and I can't seem to get going.. I just finished one going to Texas, and now I am working on a dog for a girl in Germany (she is coming here, she is an exchange student) I met her through a neighbor. I worked on a website over the weekend with a friend, she knows this stuff, I am sort of at a loss, I pick it up, but first I have to see it..coming from the non- computer times, and not good with electronics..I hate learning the language, it seems to make no sence at all..I like the abilities of it, just wish it had been there in my youth... I love to sit and watch the colors and designs on the screen change when I listen to music..it is so inspireing..I am easy to entertain I guess....goodnight all...Connie
