The colors didn't come out right on my photo,

that foreground is a nicer green than shown, 

but - got one done today.

These calves live right across the road, among many others

and I like it that they are friendly.

A Country Road Landscape in Oil

"V Road"

oil on wood

6 3/4" x 14"

I was updating the photo on this one and the text got removed with the old photo.  I worked more on the road color and set up the painting in color spectrum lighting in the north window.  This is the road to the west of my house.

There is a grain elevator on the horizon, but you can't see it, because

I left it out.

"Japanese Bantam"

This is a painting of MY (1) rooster, Queenie.  He is a Banty Rooster, very comical and quite ditzy - but I suppose a lot of roosters are.  They have only two purposes, as I see it...to give morning and/or warning crows and to help with fertilization of the eggs (we collect each day's eggs so that isn't happening) - but we get a kick out of him just the same. 

He is way smaller than my large Sussex hen 

(painting of chick, a few days back is 'she'), 

and she puts up a fight 

every time he begins his 'love' dance. 

Don't tell him - but he's a follower, not a leader....
