"A Nice Place To Ride" ©



Saturday night I painted in the fastest quick draw ever. We all had a great time. The western music floated in the air as guests nibbled on food and sipped wine. The people watching were so kind, not wanting to bother the artists, knowing how precious our time was. At the end there was an auction and all of the art found new homes. As you can see I changed my painting a bit from the practice paintings. Once I arrived and got all set up, I just painted rather then trying to exactly replicate my practice paintings and it worked out fine. This little piece almost painted it self, I would have been happy to bring it back to the studio.

Congrats, Laura!!
It's a great feeling when paintings seem to float off your brush isn't it.
Glad it found a nice home!!

Thanks Marian, I heard that your reception was packed wall to wall at the San Fernando gallery. Sorry I missed it and know you had a good time, as always. Congrats back at you!
