The LLANO ESTACADO ART ASSOCIATION 2010 FALL OPEN ART SHOW

RUBY'S RIBBON

I had  just joined this association and  I was told it was one of the  oldest, most respected art associations in the state of New Mexico. This show was judged by LARRY WILCOX and there were ribbons and cash awards given.  I told my husband Greg that I wanted to go even though I didn't expect to even receive an honorary mention, I fully expected the states best art to be there and I was eager to see it. I was right, the works were wonderful. 

 When we got there I noticed right away where my paintings were, on opposite sides of the room, and we started making the rounds a piece at a time.  Well, inevitably, I start chatting up some one and Greg and I get separated.  Next thing I know, my laid back husband is dragging me across the room saying "look".  It was RUBY, she's such a popular girl, she had taken the third place ribbon for Acrylics and Oils!!! For the first time in my life, I couldn't say a thing.  Finally, excitement set in and I went out to call my sister, promptly dropped the phone on the cement and shattered the face of my I Phone. 

 It was OK though, nothing could squelch my joy.

Gift certificates are available!

Jake -12 X 12 watercolor on stretched watercolor canvas

 

     This is Jake. Jake had a terrible start in life, he was what we call a chain rescue case. He spent his life on a short chain by himself in the yard until someone reported him. His original owner definitely feed him, but because he was always chained, he was VERY over weight and had little if any muscle tone. Jake was rescued by Peggie 5 years ago and his rehabilitation was swift. He was so week when Peggie adopted him, he could hardly get in the house, but,daily walks and the occasional visits with other doggy friends soon rehabilitated Jake and he got along very well. Daily brushing, and love brought out his sweet disposition. He was a HUGE wolf hound mix, but he was a gentle giant. I met Jake on a job in NJ. Of course I knew his mommy, Peggie, first. I would see her everyday around 3pm running the dogs, shadow,Patches and GG{good girl], in the field across from my house. Beau, my Aussie, would bark and generally make a raucous until one day I marched out side, introduced myself, and asked if Peggie would mind if my dogs came out to play with hers. This soon became a neighborhood event. Patches and Shadow moved on to wait for us all with tails wagging in doggy heaven, and Jake was adopted. I'll never forget the morning Peggie came home from 3rd shift to discover her house had been over run with fathers. She opened the door and ppooofff, feathers. It seems Jake was afraid of thunder. He tried to get on the bed to hide and he tried and tried tearing up Peggie's feather bed in the proses. It took forever to clean up those feathers.

 

 

Jake died 2/16/10 of bone cancer. This painting is done with love for Peggie. We will see you someday Jake "with tails wagging".
