Art by Oklahoma Abstract Contemporary Equine Artist Jonelle T. McCoy


"Tension" 18"x24"x1.5" acrylic- available
It's been awhile since I posted, I've been busy but not so much on the art side. After the equine festival I was a part in NY, I came back home and felt somewhat out of sorts. There have been some changes in my private life that have good points and bad, I have guests coming for Thanksgiving that are staying a whole week, and soon after my husband has the first of his both knee replacements done. There is a LOT of preparation going on for the time he's recovering, getting wood cut, split and stacked since we heat with wood harvested from our own property, cleaning up in each room throwing out old stuff, donating other things and/or finding a new pile to put it in while another area gets the treatment. Sounds like an easy task? Ahhhh, no- it isn't. Small house, packrat type husband and a gal who really hates housework lol makes for slow going. I did put out the call for 2016 calendars, and I want to have some new work to put in it, but have found it hard to settle and focus on artwork. So much going on distracts my mind and me being scatterbrained doesn't help with the creativity. I guess you could say I am having a bit of creative blockage- caused by the busy list we face for a long haul of recovery during the winter- or by some other reason? I'm not sure. I do have a nice stack of started works, some smaller but more larger. So maybe say a prayer for me that I can find some peace in my mind, heart and soul to enter that special place where magic happens and I can connect what's inside to canvas. I can tell you all- it's something I will give thanks for on November 26th. 

If you've ordered a 2016 equine art calendar, and have yet to pay your invoice, please don't wait much longer or your count won't be included in the print run. I only print those that have been paid for in advance not counting my own number- so don't wait, and yes, I am still taking orders if you want one! Thank you.
