Yes, I’ll have another

Winning horse race day that is! Yes, I’ll Have Another is the name of the horse that won both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. The Derby was a pretty good race (I missed the Preakness). He came from up from behind and maintained his place in the front to edge out a win . We watched with mint juleps in hand. Having Kentucky roots, how could I not? This post, was supposed to run right after the Derby but it never got scheduled; however, it works now that the Preakness has occurred and The Belmont is right around the corner on June 9th. Could we have another Triple Crown winner, finally?

Here’s an appropriate post in conjunction with the Derby. Look at these realistic horse sculptures and murals in Lexington, Kentucky. I remember seeing them when I first came into the town but didn’t see the murals at the time. Pretty impressive. Those “underpasses and bridges” would be enough to fool me. Good thing cars don’t drive nearby.

I found this post from the entertaining blog, Stuck at the Airport. How often have we all been stuck at the airport and not having anything to do? Just look around you, take pictures and start a blog. Pretty ingenious and gives us all a lot to see while not being stuck at the airport, thankfully.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
