Yesterday was a pretty hot and humid day in Oklahoma, the kind of day that if you were going to be outside, swimming would be a great way to beat the heat. I've always wanted to go swimming with a horse, the opportunity hasn't presented itself yet, maybe someday. That idea made me think of a commission portrait I did of a lovely palomino paso fino mare splashing around in water. The acrylic painting "Tina Marie de Vez" resides in Florida, where the water looks so inviting to swim!

Seems like the world is a troubled place anymore, whether you look at it in a micro or macrocosm. There are days when I can brush it off and forge on, but there are days, and sometimes longer, that the weight seems harder to handle. Everywhere you look, there's something happening that causes strife and stress. So where do you go, what do you do to escape the madness? I have found my release in my art. It's not always the perfect panacea, but it's a world I create, that I have somewhat a measure of control over. Been a rough stretch of time for me lately, and what I see and know that's coming concerns me- so I have paint, brushes and canvases lined up as my fighting front line. I've chosen "Deep in it" for today, full of the depths and eddy's that can hide rip tides. Got to be strong to not be swept away.
