CURLY HEAD the cow

SOLD
4 x 5 3/4 inches, acrylic on paper
It is 3degreesF today- The cows are just leaning against the sunny side of the barn, trying to stay out of the wind. Willy threw down more hay for them last night. I am feeling much better today- was it just something I ate?
Anyway- Curley head's expression seems to ask- "is it going to be cold much longer?".

Bird on tea cup


SOLD
4 x 6 inches acrylic on Mexican walnut dyed paper
I am not feeling well, there is a pain in my stomach...a virus is making it's way through the family, from Texas to NY, and it struck me last night at about 2am. I am living on toast and tea. My brother is left to fend for himself...as far as progressing on the mural- he heated up our work space in the barn a bit and got more wood and worked on the sketches....yesterday we spent a couple hours at the train station taking photos, film, and admiring the beauty of the architecture. Lots of ideas flowing back and forth. I am inspired. If I could only get up and walk!

Birdhouse in woods


My brother arrived last night in the sleeting rain and we went out to eat sushi in celebration. This morning, when I awoke, I saw he brought some Texas sunshine with him. The woods were sparkling brilliant. This is the view from my bed!
6 1/2 x 4 inches acrylic on Mexican handmade paper dyed with walnuts. The paper is actually very beautiful and thin with some lace like holes which don't actually show up unless you hold the paper up to the light. I have left torn edges around the boarder of the piece. My brother-in-law Jon brought me the paper from one of his trips to Mexico. I owe him a painting...

Cow- Samantha- going for midday snack


6 x 9 inches acrylic and pencil on paper
SOLD!

It looks as though Samantha is the outcast- always the last in line, always a loner. Did her youth as a primped and pampered calf in my son Kent's 4H scar her socially?

Cow nap in shade of haybale


The cows seem content. This one naps.
Bad weather is on it's way but the level of hay still in the feeder still looks promising.
