I had a wonderful birthday, complete with Thanksgiving meal, and friends and family around. My friend Lynne made this adorable tote bag out of silk for me. She knows I like silvery blues (color a little off in the photo). All in all, a happy day for me, with many things to be thankful for!

Happy day
This was the sunrise I was treated to on my birthday yesterday.
The clouds were ridiculously pink.

Stuff I'm learning
Here's my horse again, this time with a muzzle and bridle. Forgive me if muzzle isn't the right word--I know next to nothing about horses, although I learned more about them by drawing this one. Such as, they have really neat eyes, and I find the whole nostril/mouth part fascinating.

Even though I didn't do a background, I'm calling this one done for now and will move on to something else. That something is pastel, using a subject I'm familiar with, Lily Bart, the cat I did in colored pencil a while ago. Just started this afternoon so it's early yet, but I can say that pastels are really fun! This is my first one, and I had no idea how fun they are. Right now my small palette is a bit limiting, with lots of brights, so I'm having to fudge on the colors.
