NaMoPaiMo day one

Last night, I noticed a tiny seam on my official NaMoPaiMo model.  mo 

I cleaned it up, but waited until this morning to reprime. Then, since I wanted to give the primer time to cure, I headed to the barn to see Olive. 

I had planned a quick, bareback toodle, but the weather was nice and my friends were willing so instead, I saddled up and headed down the trail.

We didn't get far before disaster struck. One of the horses - not Olive - misstepped and fell over on top of his rider. It was a really hard fall,  and the rest of my day was spent at a series of hospitals.

In the end there were no broken bones and just a shadow of a concussion - thank goodness for helmets! - but wow, that was a long day.

I got home just in time for Heather Bullach's Oil Painting Zoom class. I was in no shape to paint, but I had fun listening and watching.

Afterwards, I did put a dot or two of paint on Butterbean. It's not much, but today, it was enough.

Today's NaMoPaiMo Champion of the Day is Heather Bullach. Thank you for making oils so much less scary. I am looking forward to actually participating in next week's class.

And with that, I'm off to bed. I didn't do any of the things I'd planned to do done today, but that's okay. Everyone lived, and tomorrow will be better.
