Home

I decided to practice perspective. This is my house.

Book Review: "The Brothers Karamazov" by Fyodor Dostoevsky

Not a good as "Crime and Punishment."  He wandered off the story in other directions that were dead ends--and not very interesting ones at that.  The main story was good, but the trial dragged on too long and bored me.  He needed a good editor.

Book Review: "The Blind Assassin" by Margaret Atwood"

This is my first Atwood book, and it won't be my last, that is for sure.  It was really good.

It was like a book within a book within a book within a book.  The stories intertwined beautifully, and it wasn't confusing, even though I made it sound like it might be. 

An old woman's sister committed suicide at a young age, and she looks back at growing up.  Her sister had a book published, too, and that book is one woven in--and it has a story within that, too.

The ending was a surprise and very satisfying too.

Dante

Here is my buddy, Dante, Ellen's horse.  He's as good a Morgan as you will ever find.  He happens to be a rare Lambert Morgan.

To learn about the Lamberts and see more of them, visit his breeder's website:

Cole Train

As my adventures in sketching progress, I realized I had to move away from easy cats to more complicated horses.  Here is Cole out playing.  I almost achieved what I was trying to get. 

Thunder

My backyard.

The creek in snow.

Thunder isn't fat--that is the artist's fault.

This is where the creek goes through my yard--one of my favorite places in the world.
