Description
This dedication is for a very dear friend of mine Marcia Gomes (MarciaGomes). Marcia and her husband Flavio Kern are truly wonderful people and almost like family to me. Marcia is a very caring lady and it shows in the lovely images she creates. Her art always has a happy and postive theme, and her gallery is a great place to go for a good time. This is a story Marcia shared with me from her childhood that I wanted to share with all of you my friends. With all the negative news everywhere it's nice to have something happy to focus on.
Rodeo Queen (For MarciaGomes): When Marcia was a little girl her and her dog Gaby would walk by her aunt's home every day on their way home. She loved the beautiful horse that her aunt had and she dreamed one day of riding it. But poor Marcia was by herself and had no way of making her dream come true. Late one evening Marcia saw the horse had a bridle on and she got a great idea. Her and Gaby went into the pen and she tied the bridle of the horse to the fence. Carefully Marcia climbed a tree next to the horse, she had a great idea of leaping from the tree onto the back of the horse. Then she would be able to ride him and make her dream come true. I tried to capture that moment here and hope you like it. Okay so you want to know what happened ? Well Gaby started barking and scared the horse just as Marcia was jumping. The horse moved and poor little Marcia tumbled to the ground. Thanks for listening, hope you got a smile.

P.S. I know Marcia would want me to say this but we are both very sad about Cecilia (SSoffia) leaving the communtiy. She wrote me a letter the other day to tell me that a few people had been very mean to her and she no longer felt comfortable here. It is a sad day when someone that nice no longer feels welcome. I am trying to talk her into staying and hope you will join me.

Olala! Beautiful composition. Stunning colors !!!
Great scene, so much joy in that face. Also a touching dedication.
Such a wonderful dedi to sweet Marcia....I love the story too.....you have such a talent of capturing peoples memories in your art and stories....lots of love, Carol
This is a very nice scene and a touching story!
My 2 favourite animals. Yay!!
Excellent work. LOL. That's quite a predicament. Hopefully it's a soft landing.
This is great!! This reminds me of when I was a kid, and would not put it past me to do the very same thing! I always had skinned up knees and elbows. But what great fun to be a kid. I'd do the same all over again, if there was a chance to do it.
Sorry for the DELAY DAVE ... HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! MANY DREAMS AND HAPPINESS completed for you!FROM DEEPLY MY HEART !!
Awwwwww that is such a darling story. I know from riding horses that you aren't a real cowgirl unless you get bucked off. What a nice dedication.
Wonderful!
Striking! Absolutely enchanting image...evokes more memories for me but I will spare you this time, lol! Simply a wonderful dedi, memory and image for Marcia!
Fantastic work, I really liked the story and also the translations for French, Spanish and Portuguese ... I speak Portuguese, I am learning English and I speak a little Spanish (laughs), very interesting your work! Congratulations.
I really like the expression on her face. You've captured a funny moment but not so funny for her. I love it!
Excellent image and story, Dave. The expressions are wonderful! The horse has a placid only mildly curious look. Marcia is full of excitement, joy and a little trepidation. And the dog looks curious and ready to give the vocal encouragement, which will prove disastrous. Beautiful mountains and sky in the background and lovely leaves and shadows! I checked and I'm glad that Cecilia decided to stay. I'm sorry to see that Marcia joined those who have suffered from flooding in the last year.
Great storytelling in this scene and amazing expression and action. Love it!
She is having a lot of fun. Very nice!
