The Camels are Coming

Day 18....I love the attitude of camels....when I was visiting Israel I got to see it first hand....we were in Jerusalem and there was a camel handler close by....one of the camels was so much fun to watch as tourists were lining up to ride....he let it be known that when he was through ..he was not going to take one more on a ride....

What's Up ???

Today was house cleaning day and because it was sooooo messy I only got about half of my painting for today done....so I decided to post a recent painting in its place....one that I have not put here on the blog before. This one is actually one that will soon be part of a series I am doing....

Number 1 of the September 2014 .... 30 in 30 Painting Challenge

And here I am again....I really thought I would have made quite a few posts between the last and this one.....however...life happens. I did however sign up for the new Leslie Saeta 30 in 30 Challenge...not so much to paint every day....which I do ....but to get back to blogging about it....
This challenge theme is "Things that move me....things that I really like"....I started with the little squirrel that live in my trees in front.....he loves the pine tree by the sidewalk....it is a tall lookout for him and the pecan tree is right next to it....
