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 :)

Fire & Ice

Had a lot of fun making a video to go along with this one. Find it at my Instagram page or on Facebook here.

White Ducks

Continuing on with my "Farm and Table" series. Found the inspiration for this latest painting while at one of my favorite perennial gardens. The white ducks are roaming around, catching the sun and seeming to glow. There were actually three, but one was shy.

Beets (3)

Last year I painted two smaller beets paintings from this same photo. It was always my intention to paint them this size and I am thrilled with it! Can't you imagine this hanging in the perfect kitchen?! For now it is wet off the easel and drying where I can see it! :)

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.

Demure Hen

Feeling inspired by chickens lately. This one was found while at the farm with my son's first grade class. She was quite cooperative with her poses. :)

Farmyard Fowl

Have been enjoying painting large, nice and loose with some bright pops of color.

Fearless Chicken

Painting chickens always has me reflecting on how far my painting has come. I remember the very first one and how terrified I was to paint the face, and how to get the feathers right... There have been many in between, but definitely no fear with this little chicken. :)

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!

Farm on Ruger

My husband and boys often have to deal with me stopping the car or whatever we're doing to take photographs. This photo was taken on one of those super cloudy, cold and windy days in late autumn. I had to stand outside for quite a while waiting for the sun to peek out for a moment to highlight all of the greens and give me some shadows. It was worth the wait.

The painting was done on canvas instead of smooth panelbord as I traditionally use.
