Hi,

I know its been awhile, but am finally getting around to posting some new stuff. I am going to have 3 new prints soon, so check back. This new drawing that I am featuring is going to be for sale at Altermann Galleries December auction on Dec 6th. The estimate is between 10,000 to 11,000. I normally don't draw children, but something about this one changed my mind. He was competing at the Californios in Red Bluff and was dead serious about what he was doing, which I just loved. He is Richard Caldwell's grandson, his name is Chantz and his horse is Tabu. Nancy, his grandmother, said he was 8 years old at that time.

Southwest Art Magazine Article

This week has been pretty interesting. The article in Southwest Art came out and the response has been wonderful! I've been invited to some shows that unfortunately I have had to turn down due to time constraints. The Cowgirl Up! show at the Desert Caballeros was kind enough to send an invite to participate in their show next year, but it falls right at the worst time of year for me, where I have many deadlines that all converge at once. I just need to draw a little faster, I guess. Thanks to all that have emailed to say that they have seen the article, its been great to hear from so many old friends! I plan on having the article scanned and posted to the website for people to read.

Done

Here is a photo of the final drawing. Not a great photo since I couldn't avoid getting some shine from my lights, but gives an idea anyway. I'll have this drawing for sale at the Beaver Creek Art Festival this weekend. No idea on a title yet!

Hi Everyone,

Here is a new drawing I am working on. I don't have a title for it yet, but have been thinking about one as I go. This drawing is sort of different for me, but I like the idea of putting as much detail into a drawing of a horse as I can. It's big, about 16 x 20 (big for me) and has been a lot of fun to work on the the concho and eye, but its a long way from finished as you can see. I will be updating again next week with it's progress.

Hello! Welcome to our completely re-designed website! I have wanted to do some new things to enhance my website for a long time, and eventually decided to go with scrapping the old one, and investing in a complete re-do. I am also jumping on the blogging bandwagon as you can see, or "diary" as we are calling it here, and am willing myself to keep up with it and let all of you know what is going on when it actually happens. It's a great new way to instantly update everyone on the latest stuff rather than forgetting to give the information to the cool people that do my website. Speaking of, Steve Bell and Emily Kitching of Eclectic Horseman Communications did a wonderful job on this re-design and I highly recommend using their services if you are thinking of doing the same to your site, or having one built from scratch. Eclectic-Horseman.com Can't say enough about them! I gave Steve a one sentence generalization of how I wanted it to look, and look what he came up with!

Another new feature that I have had lots of requests for over the years is a FAQ section. Art info, like what kind of pencils and paper I use, to ordering information has been covered and I hope people find it useful. I will be adding more answers to questions as we go along.

Matt (my husband) will be adding posts to this as well. He runs most of this show and usually has more information than I do.

One quick note of news. There will be a full feature article coming out in Southwest Art Magazine in August of 2008, which hits the newsstands last week in July. I have been in that magazine before, but not with a feature, so I am very excited.

Also, for those of you who see us at the summer shows, make sure you check out our schedule, which is updated. We kick things off in Breckenridge over the July 4th weekend. Hope to see you there. It will be good to get out of the house again and reacquaint myself with the outside world. :)

For now...

Karmel
