Those of you who know Tex-Wis (Theresa), who writes the Run Around Ranch Report know that she is a terrific artist, and recently did a give-a-way of a lovely Goldfinch to Lynne. I was lucky enough to win one of her bird portraits and this is what it looks like next to my Mt. Fuji tapestry.
He is a beautiful little Sparrow. I wrote a note to congratulate Lynne on her win and she was more than happy about it.
Theresa has a give-away of one of these hand made bird pics away every few months and if you go to her blog, she will tell you how it works. I am not sure there is even one person who doesn't visit T's blog because you almost have to make a reservation to make a comment.
She now tells us she is Mom to 250 Whistler ducks who are more than fun to watch. Its one of the best Blogs ever and if by chance you have missed it, now is the time to get on board.
By the way, I also have another something to look at: A Russian Mom of two little boys who is a photographer at
http://themetapicture.com/these-pictures-are-what-dreams-are-made-of/ . Some very beautiful pictures to see!
Cheers,
Jo, Stella and Zkhat

ReplyDeleteRe, the dog age calculator: here is the link to the new graph/calculation. Don't use the automatic calculator, but read from the graph below. http://www.calculatorcat.com/dogs/dog-years.phtml Studies show dogs, like humans, age at different rates depending on weight and health so tis is an attempt to more accurately capture the growth and aging cycle.
love the paintings. They are so nicely done
