Eleven pieces and a pre-show sale

Peaceable Kingdom #3 - All Around Us
Acrylic on claybord, 24 x 18 inches, framed
$2200

There are 32 creatures here, all sharing the woodland, existing nicely, just as it really is. The birds are busy, bluebirds and sparrows and owl and woodpecker. The black bear dozes while a pair of squirrels chatter, the turtle looks surprised by the snow, the fisher heads for her underground shelter, the coyote is almost invisible. The dancing horse feels the excitement of the cold. There’s a little fox next to the stone wall where a chipmunk sleeps and a crow complains as crows do. Deer rest, so does a cow. A raccoon gets cozy, and turkeys, geese, and a single pheasant scatter. In front of the house, where welcoming lights shine, a bunny rests. There’s a goat there too. A woman, who might be me, walks the snowy lane, watching the dog who is certainly my Tilly.

A Riotous Painting + Free SHIPPING

Spring is coming, that's for sure.  I look out my window or ride down a road and flocks of birds are gathering and singing like it's some big happy family reunion.  Dozens of starlings flying in an abstract formation that thins and swells and curves.  Dozens of robins in my yard, hopping and pecking at the grass and filling the yet to bud flame bushes.  Driving down 209 recently I looked over to the fields where Gill's Farm has been growing exceptional corn for decades and I saw hundreds of geese.  Hundreds.  I have never seen so many birds all in one place.  Maybe they were resting or maybe there was something tasty that geese just love left over from last season.  All I know is that it was an impressive sight.  

I've painted a version of what I saw and I admit that I took some license.  The geese I saw were still and if there were other animals I didn't see them. I've moved the creek.  The Esopus is actually a couple hundred yards away.  I haven't seen any turtles yet this year.  And these geese are flying which would probably be a wise decision if there were foxes around.  

This is a watercolor and gouache painting, slightly horizontal, 13" x 12".

New Painting -- My Neighbors

"Neighbors" detail

"Neighbors" detail

"Neighbors" detail

"Neighbors" detail

I have these neighbors up the road who have a story that you can read just by looking at their property.  The star of the story as I tell it is Chester, the 16 year old rescued Belgian Draft Horse.  Chester is big and blonde and gentle.  A handsome chap.  Belgians are related to Clydesdales so that might give you an idea of Chester's size.  He loves to lay in the mud or stand out in the rain or snow.  I suppose if you had such an enormous body you might like to cool down when you get the opportunity.  Chester has his own barn and a corral that are pretty much right on the road and he attracts attention.  Hence the sign: "Please Don't Feed The Horse.  Ask."  I should say right now that I haven't manufactured anything that you see in the painting.  I loved that brilliant sign the second I saw it.  I took a picture and I'm glad I did because it's weathered and you can't really read it anymore.

The deer hanging from the tree is common during hunting season.  I think the man who lives here is a pretty good hunter because every year there's a deer.  One year there was a bear.  And one year there was a coyote.  Apparently the coyotes were eating the chickens.  Although I've placed the tree in the background the actual "hanging tree" is on the road.  Scared the daylights out of me the first morning I ran past and saw a dead deer hanging next to me.  

The woman who lives here actually has three pigs.  Pot bellied pigs that live in the house.  I have met them and they are sweet and bristley.  Here she is walking the largest.

The painting is an acrylic on birch board, 16" x 12", my largest to date.  
This is also the first time I've added a person.  
And I've given Chester a pink halo just to show how special I think he is.
