4" x 20" - Acrylic on Illustration Board
Stampede is a commissioned piece I've been putting off starting because the reference photo is poor quality, and because it's so small and because I procrastnate! It's starting to be fun and I hope to post the finished piece soon. It is to be picked up September 3rd and there's nothing like a little deadline pressure to light a fire!
This post could just as well be titled "August Woes" - since it was one week ago today my computer crashed and was rushed to a tech for emergency treatment. Because I wasn't sure if I wanted to repair the four year old desktop or shop for a new computer was slow giving the go-ahead to order the necessary part (power supply gadget). Maybe it will be home by mid-week! In the meantime my sweet hubby is sharing his notebook - with Windows 7 - a whole new ballgame that I think I'm beginning to like!
So sorry I'm not making it to your blogs with comments but will try and catch up next week when "Old Trusty" is back in the studio! Soooo lost without it...need the monitor to zoom in on details with these horses - not to mention needing recent files for two other commissions! Everything was backed up to July 1! From now on, daily back up of art and photo files will be the norm!
Our local newspaper's WEEKLY GUIDE gave Jean, Silvia and me some much appeciated publicity in Wednesday's edition! Woo Hoo - We are enjoying the comments from family and friends! The show comes down tomorrow.

I seem to recall computer woes awhile back too, yes? Sometimes I just despise computers. They are so wonderful to have and yet when they act up, they REALLY act up!
ReplyDeleteLove the stampede piece, Rosemary. The size is just fabulous and I love that quirk to the piece. I can't wait to see it finished!
Rosemary, I love your painting. The format is interesting and fits the subject well. Besides,the blog inspired a poem by a very good Spanish poem. Way to go, friend.
ReplyDeleteLove the painting. You need a Mac with Time Machine. No worries then. :) Nice poem, too.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your computer troubles, Rosemary. This is a delightful painting in a challenging, but fascinating, size and format. It will be excellent, and I can't wait to see the finished piece.
ReplyDeleteJose Ramon, I am so pleased and flattered by this beautiful poem complimenting my blog! What a nice and thoughtful thing to do. Thank you so very much!
ReplyDeleteSherry, thank you so much. Will get over to your blog this afternoon to catch up with what's going on in your life. Trust all is well with you and your family!
ReplyDeleteThe computer was well one day and gone the next! Of course I had to try and save it losing valuable time that could have been spent shopping for a new one! Grrrrr
Hope you aren't disappointed with the finished "Stampede" !
Oh Sil! Thank you...What a good friend you are! Can't wait to get to your blog and see what you are posting! Good luck with the conference this afternoon with the art consultant! You go, Girl!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo! When I catch my breath I will email you re your Mac! I know they are the ultmate - What is "Time Machine"?
ReplyDeleteThank you David and Mary! I really appreciate your comments!
