Moving Along Nicely ... and the Old Car, Too

I'm pleased with how it is developing, and very happy on the decision to "go old".
One I painted about 8 years ago [and sold ... yay]
I will probably do a similar background.
Himself, several weeks ago.


I thank all of you for your questions about Bruno. He had "good drugs" - corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid - injected directly into the arthritic joints of both hind legs. The results have been phenomenal. Physically, he is supple, more fluid and powerful in his movement, and has lost the severe, protective muscle tightness. Emotionally, he is one happy guy - keen and eager to be ridden, and not balky and sulky when under saddle. He really and truly feels like a new horse! We both are quite happy right now.
I also have 2 boarders here for at least the next 6 weeks. One of my sisters had a major flood in her home [poorly done plumbing]. It was so damaging that she and her husband had to move out for the repairs to be done, and the place they are renting for the duration does not accept dogs. So I have the Boxer girls. They are both sweet and well-behaved, but are high maintenance dogs. The cat is tolerating them ... barely. And Bruno can't stand them! He is so very possessive of me, that he charges and chases them if they are in his space, and will put on a show of force - rearing, bucking, galloping, and generally letting the dogs know that he means business! My dear little 3/4 ton green-eyed monster!!! So it goes, here on the farm.

  3. I tried to leave a comment earlier in the day and it did not work. Hopefully this time it works. Anyway I just loved this painting..It feels like childhood again looking at it. And it was great reading about your possessive and new friends too. :)

  5. Loving the car painting. I had to do a double take when because I thought it was the before and after of your painting. Can't wait to see this one evolve:) So glad Bruno is feeling better. Hopefully he can tolerate the boxer girls:)

  7. Hi Kathryn, nice to hear about your life on the farm, animals are so wonderful and sometimes just like kids, possessive and jealous. Glad to hear Bruno is back on his legs again :-)
    And your car is moving slowly, but looking very good.
    Be well!
