QUOTE . . .
The Chinese Proverb says, "The journey is the reward." It is the quote appearing on my latest painting/quote combo that you can print free from my blog.

It's timely for me, because Thursday I hit the road with the Beautiful Horses of Michigan paintings! I'm so excited about having the opportunity to display the paintings at the Michigan Horse Expo in Lansing, MI. I love having the chance to have people see my paintings in person!

It will be extra exciting because some of the horses I met last summer, and painted as part of the series, will actually be at the Expo!

The Chinese Proverb says, "The journey is the reward." As an artist, sharing my artwork with others is a reward.

As I was mucking stalls this morning, I couldn't help thinking about that tweet I read on Twitter, and it made me smile and count my MANY blessings!
