This Blog.....

is my creative outlet in words. I am foremost a visual artist but there are times I can't be in my studio painting so I often come here and spill out whatever pops into my head. I like to write about my observations of my horses and animals - not so much as a factual 'how to' but a poking fun either at myself or people in general. I like to study animal and people behavior and then my artist mind does whatever it will with it. This is by no means scientific but purely based on my imagination and enjoyment of my animals.
