It’s Official. I’ll be at the World Percheron Congress in 2010
Strength & Glory- Percheron Team
Original Oil Pastel Painting
19 x 29
Well . . . as official as anything can be a year away from the event. Let’s just say a booth has been reserved with my name on it. Um . . . well actually with Carol Herden’s name on it. (but you know, it’s kinda the same thing.)
My good friend and bovine/equestrian artist extrandinaire, Carol Herden and I will once again be sharing a booth with our equine (in this case Percheron and draft) art at the 2010 World Percheron Congress in Des Moines, Iowa. This is our second artistic (ad)venture together. You may recall our trip to the Kentucky Horse Park for Breyerfest 08.
At any rate I am excited. Mostly because the idea of spending a horsey week with a friend is one of my favorite things to do. I am not thinking this is going to be a money maker. (Mostly because people aren’t coming to these kinds of events to buy art.) But it is certainly going to be loads of fun.
I plan on packing both cameras (digital and film.) Despite having many thousands (yes, that’s literally thousands) of Percheron reference photos, my motto is “one can never have enough.”
Upcoming Posts
I know I need to post my Frieisan painting but I’m soooo close to being done, I keep putting off posting it, because I want to post it as done. Not as really, really close to done.
So tomorrow will be Ask The Budda (Halloween edition) And on Halloween I may post a ghost story of my own. Or I may just delete it as a bad, bad idea.
But after that, my horse painting will be done. I know this for a fact because my deadline for the next Apples ‘N Oats issue is November 1st.

Awww can’t wait for Ask The Budda again! Especially for halloween. Cats really enjoy holidays especially if you put small decorations that roll easily out on shelves and tables where they can play Drop Things. Ari always likes the gourds and mini-pumpkins at Halloween and also chasing wrapped small candies around the floor.
Scritch Budda for me and let him know Ari and I are looking forward to his latest column.
As for your Percherons trip… ooooo wonderful! I love the painting you posted with this and it sounds like you’ll have a good time. I hope it’s also lucrative for both of you, maybe things will pick up soon.
What a beautiful painting, Mona. Incredible comes to mind.
Thanks so much Pat.
Robert, Budda also loves the Drop Things game. Pencils and gummi erasers (because they bounce unpredictably) are his favorites.
