This morning I realized that I hadn’t really finished telling you or rather showing you whatever became of the entry for the miniature show earlier this year. Here it is framed and hung on the wall alongside my horse’s shoes above the focus of the drawing.

As Winter is fast approaching here in the northern mountains of New Mexico, my pencils should be coming out of their cave as well. It has been a busy, eventful year but I’m really glad it is almost over. So, please come again and see what lands on this page and feel free to comment!

Miniature Entry 2013

Well, it is another chilly night in the mountains and, of course, most will be nestled closely to a source of warmth, to wit, a wood burning stove or fireplace. I find myself in my favorite chair, all snuggled up and enjoying a cup of coffee as I watch the flame and burning embers within the stove.

Now, you may wonder, what has that to do with an entry, miniatures or even 2013. Last year, 2012, I was invited to put in a small piece for a show at a museum here. The invitation was extended to me again. At first I wasn’t really in a position to do it, as I had two pieces in progress. But then, during my evenings in my chair, I felt the need to just draw my source of enjoyment. I really enjoyed the double shadows cast onto the wall by the lights as well as the glowing embers inside.

So, below you will see the source of my warmth and the 2013 entry for the miniature show.
