August 23rd I will be in DeBeque, Colorado, Wild Horse Days, as a vendor. If you are in the area on Saturday, please come by and say Hi!!! I have never been at this venue before but have heard nothing but wonderful things about it. This venue is a fundraiser to help the wild mustangs that are in the area. Please come by and enjoy the festivities that they will be providing. I will have original paintings, prints, and notecards for sale there and look forward to the nice weather and wonderful people.

The Horse Gift Mural Mosaic, Le Cadeau du Cheval, will be unveiled at Spruce Meadows on September 3rd! Only a few more weeks and we will see what the entire mural looks like. There is a teaser of the horse’s face on the Spruce Meadows site.

Today the winners were announced for the 8 Minutes of Peace contest. The contest had 64 entries that were juried down to only 20 entries. My entry became one of the top 20 considered for the Grande Prize. Today I found out that mine was one of the runners-up. I am so excited! This is such an honour for me. If you wish to see what the contest was all about, the 64 original entries, the top 20, and the winners, please go to http://www.8minutesofpeace.com/

A few weeks ago I entered an art contest. The theme is 8 Minutes of Peace. Our paintings/artwork were to incorporate the theme into an 8×8″ panel. There were 64 entries shown on the website and the top 20 are to be judged for the final winners. My painting made the top 20 and will be one of those in the running for a grand prize of $1000!!!

Please visit the 8 Minutes of Peace website and it will give you more info on the theme as well as show the top 20 paintings/artwork. http://www.8minutesofpeace.com

This is my entry in the ‘8 Minutes of Peace’ contest. Because of the World Olympics being held in Bejing on 08-08-08, it is being proposed that we pause for 8 minutes every evening at 8 p.m. in our own time zones to offer peace in some form to our neighbours.

My entry, I hope, represents that 8 minutes. The two halves of the world being seen at one time forming an 8 being supported by one man and one woman of different races indicating unity and peace.

For more about 8 Minutes of Peace, please check out their website. Sometimes it takes a bit to load if you are on dialup, but the message is worth hearing about. http://www.8minutesofpeace.com/

I hope you will find it in your heart to help your neighbours in some form at 8 p.m.

I have finally completed my panel for Le Cadeau du Cheval. If you wish to see it, you will need to go to the mural site and look at it there. Just seeing it on a page is nothing compared to seeing it integrated with all the other growing number of panels. I can’t wait to see it in its entirety. Keep clicking on the site to see the mural grow!! (put it in your favorites, or bookmark it, for future reference!!)

This my latest installment and it will probably be the last WIP pic because I am to the final tweaking stages and the next pic will be the final one of the panel that I will submit.

This has been a fun ride, through all its ‘OMG, I’ll never get this right’ to one of the head honchos for the mural telling me he loves it.

I would love to do it again. These murals give you freedom while having restraints. It pushes you beyond what you think you can do, but reels you in, making you conform. I feel so honored to be a part of this. This has been a learning experience and has enhanced my art considerably.

The mural grid is active, check it out. http://www.muralmosaic.com/Cadeau.html. My panel will be on there soon.

Le Cadeau du Cheval, The Horse Gift Mural Mosaic……………

One more step closer to finish. Still lots to do but the generalities are now there. It is still a sketch at this point, color values will need to be addressed, etc. I think I will call it Foundation.

Le Cadeau du Cheval, the Horse Gift: Here is my foal with his mama. It is just sketched in right now and a little will be done each day until I get it the way I want it. They have started to put finished panels on the mural site, so if you want to see it as it develops, go here http://www.muralmosaic.com/Cadeau.html

I was able to get my commission of Gus done in time for the buyer to unveil it to her parents for their anniversary. Gus is their baby, their ‘fur’baby, and they love him to death. If you would like to see Gus done, click here http://www.sues-art.com/wip.html and scroll down.

I got my panel! I am so excited. I can see horses in it that I could not see in the online pic of it. It looks like a herd, but then again I can see the foal laying there. Choices, choices!

The pic here is off the internet and is actually way too blue, in real life the panel is chestnut brown, gray and magenta.

I will let the panel sit across the room from my computer for a day or two before actually deciding on what to paint. I will post updates as I go along.

The mural I am a part of is called Le Cadeau du Cheval. It has been interpreted in English to be The Horse Gift. I think it should be given its direct translation of The Gift of the Horse. God gave us the Gift of the Horse, and this mural will be interpreted by over 200 artists to reflect what the horse has truly meant to us in history.

We were told that the panels are on their way to us right now and we have until July 1st to get them back to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I already have something in mind for my panel and can’t wait to see the true canvas to see if my interpretation will coincide with the colors painted on it.

Keep watch here for updates.
