This is Bo. No wonder her sheep keep running away.I went to the rodeo once in Cody, Wyoming. What an experience! Thrilling and nail-biting exciting and painful to watch all at the same time. Little boys as young as eight or so even competed on bucking sheep. Yikes!
Adorable dough sheep courtesy of Carolyn from Draffin Bears. Thanks, Carolyn!!!

LOL! What a cute illo! I love your "take" on things! You have such a witty and cute sense of humor.
I know what you mean about watching the rodeo...it makes my back hurt just thinking about those guys riding those buckin' broncos!
This is so cute! It really made me smile!
Hi Bella,
Loved your drawing, with Bo having a sheep back ride.
Happy Mother's Day to you.
Hugs
Carolyn
I love Bo, this one got a laugh out of me!
Lol! i love it~
Aw! Bella! This is so cute. Her facial expression is so apt. She is so determined to buck that sheep with nary a cark but PETA is gonna getcha!
This is great - creative, smart, funny. I love it! :-)
Ha ha, loving it! I'm ashamed to say I've never been to a rodeo, eventho my relatives are like hardcore PBR fans! Go Bo!
oh my gosh it made me laugh ha ha :))
it's a really wild sheep isn't he? love your humour!
btw: thank you so much for kind words, Bella! those means a lot for me!
Hahaha! You capture moments very well Bella! I love the sheer determination on her face.
Poor sheep, how do they buck by the way? I can only imagine a cotton ball bouncing softly.
Fantastic illo Bella!! Great moment you chose to capture.
Oh, TattingChic! And when those horses STOMP on those cowboys? OUCH!
Thanks, Caroline. Smiling is good. :)
Hi, Carolyn! Hope you don't mind your sheep is being tormented. Just a little. No, truthfully, I think she likes being a wild bronco. Happy Mother's Day and thank you again!
Hello Flight Fancy! Thanks, and I like your avatar.
Nollyposh, thanks so much!
Ces, ok, I had to look up the word 'cark.' PETA! Bring it on! She's a free range sheep. I heard the leader of PETA is nuts. After she dies, she wants her flesh to be turned to food and her skin to be made into products. Ew.
Thank you, Gypsy. Too generous.
Haha, Esque! PBR, no way! That was a very popular beer in college. Because it's cheap?
Krisztina, hi! Yes, she was featured on the video: When good sheep go baaaaaad. Oh, that was terrible.
Bjornik, haha! Beneath all that cotton is a solid mass of muscle. And hooves, baby. Hooves.
Hey, Kaili! Thank you!
Maybe it is a typo. maybe I meant cake? One never knows with my sticky fingers...Beautiful environment although I have not seen giant cacti so beautiful like those in America's grassland? Yes there were a lot of sheep, gazelle and bison in WY and they have those cowboy cutout billboards greeting travelers from the highway but I did not see the cacti, where they in the western part? We were in the eastern section. The background reminds me of the beautiful Sonoran desert. I have been to Arizona only once; my husband and I visited very close friends of ours, the one who gave the Christmas party where my husband and I met. I was in awe when I saw the towering saguaro cacti then it dawned on me, we were in the desert and I thought of rattlesnakes, scorpions and other creepy crawly creatures...so do you eat dessert when you are in the desert, do you make yourself decent during your descent from the mountain so you can dissent in the lowlands?
Eeew, the animal rights president, she needs to associate more with humans rather than sheep. What Woody Allen movie was that where the man was in love with his sheep?
bo looks so determined and she and the sheep are so cute! interesting background (location) to buck the sheep. :)
it's orgasmic heaven for me: shadows PLUS dust!
oooooooooooooh (moan fades off into sunset)
Ces, no, you were right. "Cark" is an archaic term for "care." You are so poetic. The background photo was taken while on a horsetrail near our home in AZ. They guides keep telling us that Julio Iglesias lives in them-there hills somewhere, but I don't know if that's true.
You most definitely eat dessert when in the desert. Prickly pear ice cream. And whuh?? There was a Woody Allen movie with man-sheep love?
Hi, Valerie! Yeah, come to think of it, you are right. You can't graze sheep in the desert. Oops.
Oh, KJ! You get turned on by dust and shadows? My gosh, you'd die with a smile on your face if you saw my home.
Of course it was cark :D and it is not archaic according to me. Perhaps I am archaic. I still use words like nary, nay, beseech, lo, henceforth and gay to me is an affect effect not a moral conundrum. What can I say I am old fashioned, or maybe I am just old? Goodnight, dream of angel love.
Hihaa ha ha :)
The sheeps that I saw in the morning at my vacationhouse were relaxt.
ohh this illu is so sweet, Bella!
and thanks for the kind words you left at tiny red :)
have a lovely weekend!
bella, i wish you hadn't been so blunt about my turn-ons. now it's public and my stature among your visitors will be affected
and it's not just ANY shadow or any dust. let me at least make that clear. so i don't think your living space counts. oh forgetit, you're too damn clever for me, bella. you always turn my comments around. even my prior comment about 'a little ass', which at the time i thought was so witty it was awesome.
love you anyway bella :)
bail money may be needed. slow boat may not work this time.
e.r.
Great one!Love the contrast!
The character is quite funny:)
your little characters MUST go into a children's book and TV show somewhere. must. must. MUST. i can see the cartoon running around in my head already!
happy mutter day!
Ha Ha, that is really funny.
I like it.
It´s a great composition.
Happy Motherday, to all Mums
Janine
too neat, thx bella :)
That is simply adorable. I love it! Bo is indeed Bad!
Have a great weekend!
thanks for laugh Bella!Hard life for the poor little curly one,with such a ridder:))
very beautiful your designs and very interesting your blog
Congratulations!!
Oh, that just made me laugh! Perfect rodeo image...:) Silke
What a cool collage! I kept thinking I'd go through all of your updates first, before posting a comment, but I can't keep up with you! lol, so I'll just take my time figuring out what you've been up to since I was here last - actively here, that is. :o
You are formidable. I give up. I am no longer arguing with you. You are the mental ninja. I have never met anyone quite like you. I am shutting my mouth like right now!...I really am.
I won't argue with you again.
Really.
I'll be quiet.
...!
fun combination of the color figure and the sepia photo. The Barbie is pretty astonishing.
Patricia, hello. Who knows what your sheep do when you are not looking.
Thank you, Tiny Red! Love your stuff!
KJ, I must admit, a little ass is enjoyable, as long as it's the right type of ass and not the result of offensive low-rider jeans.
E.R., I smell a ruse for money....
Deepa, thanks!
Aimee! Haha! Then me thinks you are going a little bananas. Happy Mutter Day! mutter...mutter...mutter
Hello, Janine! Thanks, and Happy Mother's Day to you, too.
Laughingwolf would like more dust.
Yes, Cheryl! Baaaaad to the bone!
Hehehe, Raluca. I guess that's why her hair is all curly in the first place. :)
Dam, thank you and welcome!
Silke, thank you. Are you eating something in your avatar? Darn, now I'm hungry again.
Hello, Nancy! I've missed you!
ArtSparker, thank you. Astonishing is a nice way to put it. :)
Ces. Ah, little grasshopper. You and your shurchickens admit defeat. Wise, it is.
Just over from Cesawards...WOW, you certainly deserve it +
Gloriously delightful artwork.
You're on my follow list whether you like it or not!
oh bella, fashionably appropriate and wise woman, how very true!
:)
The little sheep from Deborah is to die for.
So adorable.
Now that award Ces did.
What totally blows me away is how fantastic the pictures look all together like that Bella.
It is really really pretty. You must be very proud of them? You know I had to comment on Ces's blog about the teachers.
Love Renee xoxo
Go check out Ces' new header it is awesome. But I told her I think the lady on the right has a serious problem with pubic hair.
Love Renee xoxo
Bella, how unfortunate renee's timing could be. Talk about a certain anatomical part while I present you with an award for the most lovable, cutest, innocent flower girls! i had to take the banner down. I don't even remember drawing any pubic hair. That is insane!
Bella I have made it as clear as mud now on Ces' site.
I do adore your series though.
xoxo
Bella, I am useless now. I am drunk as a skunk with laughter. I am laughing so hard I am drooling. HAHAHAHAHAHA
BWAHAHAHAHAHA! I think with every laughing episode, I lose a year in age. I am down to 24 years old. I'd like to stay that way for tonight. BHWAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHHAHAHAHAHA!
See Bella how I needed you in my corner. Exactly, that is all the proof we need.
Take that Ces. Shabang.....
xoxoxo
Bellal ~ This is darling!!
Also, congratulations! You won my "name the horse" giveaway! Calliope is the perfect name. I couldn't find your e-mail address to tell you so please e-mail me your information so I can send your gift.
Happy Mother's Day, too!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA>>>> AAAAHHHHH!!!
You are a very good friend. HAHAHAHA!
Okay. What a crazy night. OH HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY DEARIE!!!
Goodnight sweet Bella, God bless you.
Love Renee xoxo
Thank you sweetheart. Enjoy, have a happy Mother's day,
Love,
Ces
Great illustration! very original.
Bucking sheep? how strange, that's something I would expect in New Zealand ;)
Hey Mama!!! How are you Lady??? I've been away to long. I just got back from South Carolina, this time to bury my 95 year old Granny! I was going to post something, but I was just overwhelmed with so much to do and no time to do it in. I just wanted to come by and tell you HAPPY MUTTER'S DAY Beautiful!!!!! I sure hope that they made you breakfast in bed and that you got your feet and back rubbed very well. I am really enjoy Bo on her sheep. I'm sure this is why the little lady lost all her dang gone sheep!!! She didn't know how to treat them! Hee, hee, hee!!!! Oh an Barbie at 50 was a total HOOT! Barbie looked like she at a tatter or 2 or 3 or 4!!! I don't know, but I think you need to cut her open and I'm sure you find Skipper, Ken, and the Dog inside causes it's certainly clear to me that she must have eaten anything that was standing still! hee, hee, hee! See Bella, Barbie's not fat, No not at all. She's fluffy Hee, He , he!!!
I love these post. They have made me laugh so hard! Love your sense of humor which is BRILLIANT!!!!! Love you too.
V.

Kudos and Kisses to you!

How cute is your picture? I don't envy the sheep but I'm sure it'll have the last laugh! I love the way all the little feet are off the ground at the same time!! It really made me laugh.
Bo is quite spunky, but I think the sheep will give her a run for her money! So cute!
Hope you had a great Mother's Day!
How adorable! Carolyn's sheep is so cute!
It's amazing what you can do with your illustrator. I have no clue how to do that.
Love your little cowgirl too!
Hope you had a fantastic Mother's Day! Mine was good, but I was sick with Strep Throat/Tonsilitis. I'm starting too feel better though.
Have a great week!!

Hello Bella, did you give the teacher the gift yet?
I know she will go crazy.
Love Renee xoxo
Thank you all so much, everyone. Isn't Carolyn's sheep so adorable, though? Thanks for stopping by!
Pure sweetness Bella, no edge.
Well, except my teeth, they may be on edge.
Love Renee xoxo
Just flippin' awesome. Your characters work so well in photographic environments. Hope she made it the full 8 seconds.
this is absolutely cute and beautiful!! now you're a cow girl already ;)
Fun ride and cool cool cool!
Nothing compare to real adventure here.
Sorry for the delay.
Bella, I am ready to send the package to you by tomorrow. Is that the same Japan address?
Happy Belated Mother's Day.
how cute Bella!!! you are a riot....I love this ....
Hugs
Diana
Love it!
Barbie at 50....haha. That is GREAT!!
Bella you really are a wonderful friend.
Well the pages are full for now. I wrote in this journal in 2006 when I was diagnosed and so am now putting it out what helped me. Or maybe not helped me, but helped me to figure our what the hell I was doing.
So I thought that it might be a good thing to revisit and so that is what I am doing. I am just typing out my journal and reminding myself what I need to do.
Medical Treatment? CHECK
Creative Thinking? CHECK
Diet and Nutrition? Fail
Exercise? Fail
Beliefs and Attitudes? CHECK
Social Support CHECK
I need to regurgitate this stuff to remind myself. To put armor on myself for when I need to battle again. To armor myself by reminding me that I can do it.
Bella I am so happy that your Mom has survived and is cancer free. Oh thank God. That is not only the most wonderful news for her but it also encourages me.
Bella I am happy that you are helping me go through this all.
All of your kind words about the truck and the dent made me smile.
So all that you read in my pages will have already been written, but I can still learn from them and that is what I need to do.
Even the simple things. Like pick up a fucking glass and put some water in it. Tip it into your mouth....... And believe me these things can be harder than they seem because after chemo everything is hard to drink without gagging even a year after the last treatment.
Love Renee xoxo
Wonderful Bella! Such a fun little scene.
help! help!
e.r.
11 holy crow. That is lots. I think 7 is lots.
I figure everytime she has a lover she gets a new cat.
xoxoxo
she is so cute and I love the look of determination on her face!
what fun and so much action! and i love her outfit.
11? did i hear 11?
ooooohh....
I think what renee means is when she gets a new lover, the new lover gets a cat.
Did you know I gave you an award for your flower girls?
YEEEHAW!!!
That's what she's saying, right? Maybe the lingo changes when you're riding a sheep... who knows? Great illustration, Bella. It's wonderful that your pieces are always so cheerful (even the venus fly trap piece had a whimsical charm to it).
no bella, it's about the sexual patterns of polish americans...
:)
I sure didn't want to miss this one!!
Very cute Bella!
