Horse Camper!

This may just be the coolest camper I've ever seen - and of course, I HAD to paint it!!  I am drawn to campers and travel trailers - probably because they stir up childhood memories of family camp-outs!  But this one is right out of my childhood book of dreams, full of my love of horses!  I'm losing the light, but still had enough time for an ink sketch and a little watercolor too. I'm staying in the bunkhouse just past this beauty - and it is right our of the pages of Country Living!  How does one artist get so lucky as I am?  I'm thanking my lucky stars tonight - and may just go sit out and enjoy them awhile! Painting number 4298 in 4298 days. 

Truck Tagging on Jackson

Oh my gosh!   This was a super fun nocturne paint out!   I have never been to an event like this one!   In downtown Dubuque, there was a graffiti artist painting a truck trailer outside of a club at 10th and Jackson, and four of us artists were brave enough to tackle this nocturne in the dropping temps.   So many people came by to visit and show their support - and I was even brought a hot toddy to warm me up!  Everyone I've met is SO nice in Dubuque!  This painting sold off the easel tonight, and is my 1374th in 1374 days :)
