Paintings

I have lost count of how many paintings I have done in a week. I have decided to put my nose to the grindstone for this sale that is coming up next weekend. I also think that I have thrown myself into this work because it is a lovely distraction for me. Every day gets a tiny bit easier. I miss Truman so very much. I know that I always will. But at least I am able to start moving on bit by bit.
Today a friend of mine sent me a text message. She said it made her think of Truman. I think it is very fitting:

"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, but love leaves a memory no one can steal."

Beautiful little family

Boo finally made me get out of bed this afternoon and take the dogs on a walk with him. I was very reluctant, but when I finally got out there it did make me feel a bit better. Today has been a blur of crying and agonizing over the fact that Truman is really gone. My heart hurts so badly. I miss him so much. I just feel so cheated that I only got to have him for 1 year. He was my dream. I had such big plans for the both of us. And now hes gone.
One part of our walk was pretty steep. I slipped and almost fell twice. Both times, Boo was there to catch me. And immediately afterword, Sally and Nicholas ran to check on me. I think the only way that I'm going to get through this is going to be with their help. My mom described them today as my beautiful little family. I think shes right.

Goodbye, my beloved pony

Today, I am writing the most difficult words I've ever had to utter. Last night, we had to put my precious horse Truman down. He had adhesions in his colon from his surgery which caused him to relapse into a very painful colic. I never understood the concept of a broken heart until last night. I miss him so much and I still can't believe hes gone.
Thank you to everyone for your wonderful support and kind words. Sometimes I guess life just isn't fair.

Bunnies

I have started working on a series of bunny paintings and I just love them. They really make me miss my old cranky rabbit I used to have. I'm not going to lie....if these guys sell at the end of the month, I'll be sad to see them go.

Painting Orders

I am starting to have painting orders come in! This is so exciting! I hope that I will get a few of these really early so I'm not in a huge time crunch come december. I feel so blessed to have so many people that love my art. Makes me so happy when people tell me they want a piece of my work!
