What's Next?

Once a work of art is finished and off the easel, the question comes up regarding what is next.  Where do we go from here?  Any ideas?  Curiosity can be fun but it also killed the cat, right?!  So we don't want any dead cats lying around.  Here's what's up next...I've already begun to work on the central figure in the drawing.  Some of you will be able to guess right away who this is.  There's a lot to this picture.  What you see here is about 64 sq .in. out of a 841.5 sq. in. drawing.  So I will be at this one for awhile.  But I'm excited to see it all unfold and how it begins to take a hold of me emotionally.  

In life we humans are always curious as to what's around the bend.  Uncertainty doesn't sit well with us.  Not having control of all the parts and pieces of life can be unsettling.  But on the flip side, not knowing has an element of delicious surprise and adventure to it.  Just stick in the saddle and stay in it for the ride.  Here's a favorite quote by Luci Swindoll that resonates with me:

"I decided to do whatever it took to keep my spirits up.  I took God at His Word----that He would be with me and take care of me; that He'd go before me and straighten out the crooked places; that He'd be my comforter, friend, and great physician.  Something about that choice had a rush in it for me.  An edge.  An excitement.  Each day I couldn't wait to see what would happen!"

Here's an update on the horse drawing I recently finished.  It is now back from the printer's and is now framed and matted.  My printer is A & D Technical here in Omaha.  The framers were my local  Hobby Lobby.  Here's a look at the frame...there's a little glare on the glass but you get the idea:

The framed original is available for $1200.00 USD.  Unframed prints the same size as the original (17.5" x 22.75") are available for $100.00 USD, including shipping and packaging.
