Hey guys, sorry I disappeared for 9 months or so. Classes overwhelmed me and I went into reclusion. I'm back, for the summer at least. I did rent that house I mentioned in my last journal entry (in September!) and now live in a little house with my roomie, my cat, our two fish, her two rabbits and one guinea pig, and our two horses. It's got a little paddock and a barn out back for the boys. It's wonderful living with my horse again (since when I lived with my Mom, she's got a little horse farm), but a little irritating as I have no riding ring, and no trailer to get to a riding ring, and no body who will loan me their riding ring within riding distance. But still, I have access to some of the most scenic bridle paths in Virginia -- all in the midst of hunt country. I'm happy!

I finally updated my gallery. I'm crazy crazy crazy busy with school, work (cafe), barn (Mocha and 3 nights a week do the barn/feed), riding (2 days a week for this lady), and maybe moving to a new house because my landlord wants to either raise my rent or sell the house and I can't afford to pay more! But if I do move out to this other place, it's got a paddock and a small barn!!

my thumbnails didn't work the first time

I've been madly browsing the painting section of devArt and have discovered many good artists. These are two of my favorites, and some of their thumbnails. Check them out for two amazing galleries!

I've got three dog pictures up. They are all three the same picture, but in different media. Which do you like best?

Pencil


Charcoal


Watercolor

My computer crashed and burned. We have since formatted and reinstalled Windows. Now trying to get everything set back up. Can anyone explain to me why when I scroll it doesn't move smoothly, but instead shifts in blind-type movements? Arrrrrrghhhhhhhh. I hate computers!
