At the McFarland Museum, Rowdy and Rainy were the hands on exhibit for the "Horse Power" theme. Rainy stood quietly for a harnessing and hitching demonstration and Rowdy let the kids pet him and braid his mane and tail.
Holly took Rowdy for a walk after helping out all day with both horses.
When it was time for Rainy to demonstrate how she paints, she was SO SLEEPY and not in the mood to make much of a painting. Meanwhile, Rowdy was leaning over the fence saying, "Let me do it, I can paint!" So even though I had not trained him to paint yet, I gave him the paint brush to see what he would do. See the video below of Rowdy making his very first painting.

Some of my art and the Van Gogh Mural can be found atVernon Creek Gallery of Art, my next door neighbor. The best reason to stop in to that gallery is to see the gorgeous works in clay, made by Matt VanSusteren and other ceramic artists. To see the Gallery website click here.
You can see a variety of my art in a beautiful gallery called Absolutely Art in Madison Wisconsin. They are selling my mobiles, cards, ceramic horse head figurines, horse paintings, ceramic sheep ornaments, and paper-mache sculpture. http://www.absolutelyartllc.com
I had a "portrait DVD" of my two horse friends, Rainy and Rowdy made by Requisite Variety in July 2007. Rowdy does some tricks and Rainy paints a painting, and Requisite Variety did excellent work filming and editing it all together. http://requisite-variety.com/main2/portfolio.html to see a clip of this video. Thankyou, Requisite Variety! You can now also see clips of the DVD in my blog. Look in the May archives after "Diesel the Mule Early Training."
