EBook

I am working on a small, FREE, ebook on how to construct a round canvas since I have done well over 140 of them for my cosmic paintings and abstracts. I would like to get an idea on how many people would have an interest in this so please let me know.

Mooooo


Highland Cattle - Meal Time
24 x 30cm
oil on panel
SOLD

These beautiful cows are a 5 minute walk from my front door. They are part of a grazing program. After 6 months or so they will be moved to some other park to graze so I have to take advantage of them while they are here. This mother cow and her white calf are easy to distinguish from the rest. In fact, yesterday I was visiting them (again!!) and got to watch the mama licking the calf's face, grooming it. So sweet. Of course I didn't have my camera. Grrr. This breed of cows (Highland Cattle) must have something genetic in them that has them with their tongues out more often then any other cows I have seen. If I can capture a good overall photo of this you will see a painting or tow of it.



Peaking Out of the Woods

In the middle of the open park area is a wooded area. Quite often you can find the cows scattered amongst the trees. When they first came here in August you could barely see them at times because they hadn't eaten the grasses down yet. They are easier to see now.

Figuratives


Noodle
7 x 5
oil on panel
SOLD

Free Range Chickens in the winter make for eye catching and different painting possibilities - especially when those chickens double as pets (sort of). Noodle is the calmest one of the 6.



Jenny
18 x 24cm
oil on panel
SOLD

On skype there is a way to take photos of the people you are talking to while you are talking. I loved the lighting that was going on during this conversation so I took loads of photos in hopes for this one. I had fun.



Puppy Love
9 x 12
oil on panel
SOLD

The love and emotional involvement that those closed eyes depict just screamed connection with this scene. I am not sure the dog is feeling the love - maybe a bit too much lovin' who knows - but I sure was.


Nap After a Float on the Pond
8 x 10
oil on panel
SOLD

Swimming in the pond can take it all out of you. I love how the hammock seems to swallow him up and cradle him to sleep.


Pregnant Pause
9 x 12

Mommy is about to pop at any minute but still had plenty of patience and attention for #1 child. I love how the California sun hits them.

Cockerel at Round Oak Farm


The Young Cockerel
18cm x 24cm
oil on panel
SOLD

What is there about chickens that pulls one to paint them? Color, shape, odd elegance and grace? I saw all of them in this one.



Young Cockerel #2
24cm x 18cm
oil on panel
SOLD

I like looking for the colors within the black and white. 

Another Path


England Path #2 to East Malling
5 x 7
Oil on Panel
SOLD

This path is narrow and so inviting. So many of the paths in England are. There is such a romance about them. At times I feel like I am in a fairytale book as I walk them. I let my imagination wander.
