Linda is back from her trip to Seattle visiting her friend Denise. She has been down with a cold since she got back, but hopes to be back painting in a couple of days. I survived my 5 days home alone on my usual bachelor diet of popcorn and peanut butter. The dog spent the whole time keeping vigil at the front door waiting for Linda to come home. The American Academy of Equine Art show is up on their website; http://www.aaea.net/catalogs/fall06/ they haven't announced the awards yet. Linda's painting is near the end in alphabetical order. Also look at Lynne Lockhart's painting it is real good. Lynne is in Main Street Gallery with Linda.
