Artistic temperament 101: Everything I need to know about writers I learned from a miniature horse
It’s true. I had this epiphany while bringing up yet another example from driving Bullet in a conversation with my husband, Sean Murray. Sean is working on his second novel right now, which means that there are only two kinds of days I have– good days, when his writing is working, and bad days, when … Read more
When Fish Fly…
I’m going to have to spin the “art of the dog” concept a little, in order to fit this post into this blog, but it’s my blog, right? Translation is a dogged art. Some think it’s no art at all, but all agree that it requires persistence in the face of hopeless odds, and offers … Read more
Bullet takes the cake
Because that’s what Bullet does — steals the show, takes the cake, wins hearts and minds, etc. He won his two little classes — halter and pleasure driving. The other horse I showed, the 5-year-old Miss Insecurity Stella took a third in halter and a fifth in walk-trot hunter, which is not bad. The gift … Read more

Most recent work — TGI was a long weekend and I felt like accomplishing things beyond the obvious (i.e. another hopeless battle with dog hair around the house). It also looks like Hound will be making a public appearance the weekend of 17th and 18th, but that’s a separate post.
Artistic temperament 101: Procrastination
I’ve been thinking a lot about procrastination lately. In fact, I’ve been thinking about procrastination while I could probably have found other things to do with my time. I’m sure those of you who have ever attempted any regular creative work will be familiar with this pattern: you have the idea, you might even get … Read more
Taliesin Hound
Taliesin, in Wisconsin, is Frank Lloyd Wright’s ancestral estate, and a wonderfully inspiring place to visit, especially in May, as we did. We were on our way to put Mom on a plane back to Ukraine (why did you think I’d gone off air?) and anchored the trip with Taliesin, because she’s a big Wright … Read more
New Work: Doberman
Thanks to my friend Linda who continues to supply me with wonderful subjects.
Great Books for Horse lovers
At the show at Sheldon the curators kindly laid out a couple of books to be leafed through by curious visitors. One of these was Equus, a great collection of photographs of a variety of equines from the Equus genus, including miniature donkeys and stuffed extinct things. The other one was the fantastic Art of … Read more
