Speaking of Dreams

This is the wall painting I did on the Dreaming Porch, long before I had big horses. I had painted several different scenes only to paint over them. This one stayed and the horses became a reality. Notice one is the color of Knot and one the color of Charme, my first two big horses.
A little artsy display in my utility corner. Charcoal and pencil were fun to play with. These were also drawn before I had riding horses.

Maybe there is magic here At The Farm.

I love the detail of the horses faces. And I am so glad your dreams came true.
I love how you call it the Dreaming Porch. I will have to remember that. If we get our farm All I can imagine is setting on the porch over there and watching the sun rise with a nice cup of coffee. I think of it often. This is why I love that place so much. You can sit on the porch and feel the calm and peace of nature in the air. I can dream of my garden there. It is like heaven on earth to me. Like I had at my old home in STL.

I have that in common with you..the having some horse things before the horse actually came to me!
It is neat to look back at the progression~

Wow, Gail.....that is neat. That your mind envisioned the horses and you painted them even before they showed up in your life. That is cool.....and wonderfully encouraging.

And it came to you in a vision...a vision of art.

sigh.

What an artsy fartsy gal you are, girlfriend :)

I don't have a Dreaming Porch. Will a Dreaming Balcony do?
