Monday, September 6, 2010. A Tall Masted Beauty. I really love tall masted sailing ships, so upon discovering that Duluth was participating this past July in the Great Lakes Tall Ship Challenge bringing in 9 of the 14 tall masted beauties from the race, I knew this was a must see. What a pleasure this was to see her sailing on Lake Superior! Anna de la Dale. Great Lakes Tall Ship Challenge. Tall masted sailing ships. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Anna de la Dale.

For you see, this friend had gifted me an iris she had collected from her mother's garden, an iris variety she had been treasuring, but alas had lost when an ancient pine blew down and crushed all she had. Wishing you a beautiful whimsical day! Have Bru...

http://delarenaissance.blogspot.com/2015/01/blue-eyed-pinto.html
Wednesday, January 7, 2015. Blue Eyed Pinto ". When I decided to draw this 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" ACEO illustration "Blue Eyed Pinto". It has been over 40 years since the last time I had created a horse with plenty of "chrome". Even then, there were not many. I can think of only two others, both when I was in my earlier teens. The first was an oil painting of a Native American Paint Horse pulling a travois across the plains,. Hmmmmmmm.these paints and pintos are rare indeed! Pinto horse. horse illustration.
