Sheep Watchers

11"x14"

Oil on Canvas

 

Another painting inspired by my granddaughter and our favorite place to check out the animals; Booker T. Washington National Park.  It is always fun to see what new animals have arrived in the spring or to feed the pigs acorns in the fall.  Farmer Linda always let's us help when she is there.  We just never tire of going there.  Well, I'm hoping my granddaughter doesn't outgrow the fun of it; it gives me my excuse to go visit.

Gallery Shopping

25"x18"

Oil on 300 lb. Gessoed Watercolor Paper

 

My neighbor and I spent a day in the historic part of Savannah Georgia while our husbands golfed.  What a pretty area.  The older homes are just gorgeous.  There was just too much to take in in just one day; and then all the galleries were calling us in.  A great place to go back and visit to take in more of the sites.

Feeding Frenzy

 

20" x 22" oil on canvas





 

Monhegan Island, Maine is one of the most gorgeous places, there is a painting every place you look.  This painting is from a trip I took with a group of fun artists a few years back.  We spent nearly a week on the island painting.  The sea gulls are like none I have ever seen before.  Some of the restaurants throw their seafood scraps in the water and the frenzy of hungry gulls that appear is an awesome sight.  I was in complete amazement watching them before I came to my senses to grab my camera and start taking photos.  I just never get my fill of Maine, the coastline to me is the most beautiful on earth.

Eye Candy

 

 

14"x11" Oil on Canvas

 

Painting roosters is so much fun, they have so many beautiful colors in them and when painting them with a palette knife it adds even more fun to the process.

Lynchburg Art Festival

A few hectic days of getting ready for the Lynchburg Art Festival and hopefully life will now return back to normal, and I will be able to get back to my blog postings.  Thanks to everyone who stopped by this past Saturday.  This is always a fun event, even though I do drive myself crazy getting ready for it.

Zeke & Truman, Draft Horses

 

9"x12" Oil on Canvas

 

My granddaughter and I spotted these two draft horses in Bar Harbor, Maine.  They were hauling beer for the Atlantic Brewing Co. in Bar Harbor.  They were also available for rides.  Since my granddaughter has a love of animals, like myself, we were immediately drawn to them.  They were certainly beautiful animals.
