Glamour Girl

Went to a beautiful garden and shop this past weekend. The highlight for me was the lone chicken running around the plants. She stopped for a little photo session and was the most personable bird I'd ever worked with. :)

Little Piggies

I've decided that I love painting pigs! This baby was being held by my friend while on a field trip with my son's class. So fun :)

Clucking Around

Earlier in the fall I went with my son's class to a great farm. There were chickens and goats everywhere, and of course I brought my camera. I've included the photo used to paint this one which was actually quite blurry. I liked the red barn in the background originally, but then decided it would compete too much with the hens.

Donkey Day

Went to the farm with my younger son and was in chicken and donkey heaven! Loved this one with the bright pops of red.

White Geese

Found these little beauties at a local farm. Loved the way the light seemed to make their white feathers glow. It always amazes me how many colors one can actually find in white. Such a fun color to paint!

En Route

My family and I were driving down a country road somewhere near Madison. We had taken the boys to an art festival in Fitchburg and were meeting my brother and his finance for lunch in Paoli. On the way there we saw this adorable cluster of little barns right along both sides of the road. Some were so small they looked like little clubhouses or sheds. Many were being taken back by the earth, overgrown with vines and flowers. It was a happy moment for me because the light was catching this little grouping just perfectly!
