Cowgirl VI: Looking to the Future

Good Sunday morning to you all !

We had such a wet day yesterday, that I sat at the dining table and painted in the afternoon.
I thought it would be a treat to have another in the Cowgirl Series.
If you'd like to see I-V, click Here and scroll down a little.

So, after Masking the Pain (V), our girl is getting over the break up and the pain has faded. She is looking forward to the future again.

Cowgirl VI: Looking to the Future



And in other news, Missy has had her annual check. The vet has said she's in fabulous shape for 13.5, with everything in tip top condition. There is no sign of any cancer regrowth, either.  And when the vet gave her a piece of duck as a treat, darling Missy was so delighted, she made a huge fuss of the man :) 
Here she is, once we were home :


Thanks for visiting my blog - and have a blessed Sunday all xx

    She does have a cute feel to her, Prabal. :) Maybe I'll have to get her on a horse for the next one :) xx

    Cowgirl definitely has some fresh optimism in her gaze. Lovely piece Pat and well done you for doing something creative while we had a bit of weather! One of the bins outside has about eight inches of water in it!
    Pets are a worry at times so very pleased to hear Missy gor a clean bill of health and a treat for being a brave girl too!

    Glad you think she's looking optimistic, Michael.. it was the effect I was aiming for :)

    I know, it was diabolical weather yesterday .. thank heaven for water butts, eh?

    The times that pets worry us is thankfully miniscule compared to the joy they bring. And Missy brings us such joy :) xx

    Yay, the cowgirl rides again! I like the limited colour range in this one, it has a very retro feel to it. Nice shadows too.

    Nice to hear that Missy is officially full of beans too (no great surprise there from me tho!)

    Cowgirl is a lovely piece Pat and the others too.
    Oh fun, Bibi is almost as old (13.2 years) as Missy. Good to hear that Missy is okay.
