Wonderful dog rescue story. But, I am still all teary- animals are wonderful. This one knew by your scent you had a soft heart for animals. She or he is beautiful. Enjoy MM

OMG, Thistle looks (almost) like a different dog. You’re all blessed to have found each other. I’m so happy for you — and, of course, for Thistle. Can you report on the heart worms? or did I miss that …?

I just had news that my brother’s cancer has returned and have been feeling pretty rotten. That photo of Thistle was just what I needed to remind me that life is precious and precarious and we just never know what’s around the bend. Thank you for sharing her with all of us.

on your webbsite you posted about a trip to the Oregon coast ( i thnk), and a workshop with an artis, I’m thinking were you did a painting with sand? Could you go over that with us again on how it was done? Thanks

Hi Athena,
Sorry for the late reply – this blog thing is taking us a bit of time to get our minds wrapped around, but I did want to get back to you.
Yes, I did mention that sand painting class, and Art and I are spending another four days at the coast at the beginning of August to do this again.

The concept is really quite simple. You wet your canvas (we dipped ours in the ocean) and toss sand onto the wet surface, throw more water on to get a pattern you like. This process can be done as many times as necessary to get a look you want to keep. Then a mixture of gloss medium and water is sprayed onto this surface and everything is allowed to dry. When dry, you paint with acrylics. That’s really all there is to it – the “art” is in how you manipulate and work the sand, and of course how you finish the piece.

I hope to submit something a bit more detailed after the next workshop – thanks for you interest!
