Thursday Art Date With Rain ... Gates & Fences

 

Click to enlarge

I have pictures of fences and then I have pictures with fences ... and I know I have many more, but I got tired of looking :)  and I am guessing you will be tired of looking too :)  The kitty in the title is our little Buffy Boo escape artist.  We rescued her from outside and it took her a few years to be content with staying inside with the other kitties.  She is a cuddly purr box at this point :)

Thursday Art Date With Rain ... Future

I look to my Grandchildren for their future.  Above is my son's youngest who is in middle school.  I see her graduating from college some day and having a wonderful future of her own choosing.

Below is my son's oldest who just graduated from college in Pre-Vet and is in the process of applying for Vet School.   I see her future as a loving and caring animal advocate and a wonderful Veterinarian.  

 

At my  age who knows what the future will bring, but as a retired Nurse, Grandmother, Mother and Wife, I am guessing my future will be more like relaxing and enjoying my family ... and doing art for Rain's Thursday Art Date, of course :)

Thursday Art Date With Rain ... Coils

Coils

Pictures taken at the 1915 Fish & Wildlife Expo

This has been a busy week for me so all I could come up with was some coiling pictures.  Hope I can do better next week.

Until then, enjoy the Spring that is upon us :)

Thursday Art Date With Rain ... Evening

EVENING

  

I heard this wonderful song many times in my home as a child ... yes, I know, I am dating myself :)

I usually think of evening as a relaxing time, but in reality it can be a very busy time.  I have chosen pictures that show both.  Now, since it is evening here, I think I will go relax in my favorite chair and watch a good mystery :)

Doorways & Alleys

Both are sketches with some digital background help :) then painted in Photoshop.  This was more of a challenge than I had expected ... but as always, Fun!

Thursday Art Date With Rain ... Motion and Movement

Motion and Movement

Our Izzi is motion personified.  She was in full speed motion when we got her as a pup and has not stopped ... though I will admit, like all of us, she has slowed down with age.

Aussies need a job to keep them occupied.  Agility was Izzi's and if you look at her little face, you will see how much she loved it ...

She was just as busy off the agility field.  My granddaughter is her best friend  and she too is an example of motion as you will see ...

Raptors are another example of motion if you are lucky enough to be there when they are doing what they do.  This is a falcon and a Great Horned Owl attacking a lure.  

My friends live on a ranch and  these are pictures of their horses in motion.

Just for fun ... 

If you noticed Izzi is smiling all the way through the course ... happiness is motion to Izzi.  Those were wonderful days that I miss, but I am so grateful to have experienced them.

P.S.  Sorry to have missed last week.  I got up one morning and my computer had crashed  ... it spent a week with the Geek Squad and hopefully we are back for good :)
