90 Show Llama

Why do I call this painting "Show Llama"? You see the nice neat mane, flowing off to the right and left? Well, that is not natural. Our llamas would have anything and everything stuck in their manes. If they were out in the woods, it wasn't unusual to find 2-3 foot long tree branch hanging from one's mane.

At a recent horse show, I was discussing llamas with an exhibitor. They had friends whose llamas would spit and butt you with their heads. Ours were nothing like that. Willie and Magic just didn't lower themselves to interact with mere humans. We were welcome to bring them food. In fact the only time one of them tried to spit at me was when I was taking food away. My shop was in one of the areas set aside for them. If I was working outside, they would come up to watch. But only on their terms. The reason for the long neck is so that they could look down on you.

83 Old Spot 2

After entering two paintings in the Swine art show, I became intrigued by the Gloucestershire Old Spot. Another two pigs have made it into the One Hundred Paintings. Both Old Spots, which by the way are very good pasture pigs. Hearty and with gentle dispositions. The ideal family hog.

20. Cookie the Goat

Here at the old Homestead we have lived the past few months without any goats. I wasn't aware that this was a problem for my wife. Well, it was and she solved it. Our new goats are Oreo and Cookie, two female dwarf pygmy goats. Cookie was named Shorty before she moved here, but Shorty seemed a bit too masculine for her, so she's Cookie now. Both goats have horns and the dogs have learned to keep away. Shadow the pony is getting used to them, but still tries to stomp them occassionally.

18. Pig Ears

I am spending a lot of time down on the farm with these recent paintings. I can help myself. They are fun to paint and popular with everyone. This painting of a pig with a backlight and glowing ears ( the computer image really doesn't do it justice ) was on display at the CDI Dressage Horse Show in Raleigh and was also purchased there.

8. Belted Galloways at Fearrington

Yesterday I joined with a group of plein air painters from PAINTNC. We met a Fearrington Village, a community located on a former dairy farm. The farmhouse and barn have become the nucleus for a village of shops and gardens at the heart of the community. One of the features of the Village are the belted galloway cows are rare breed from Scotland that had been at the farm since the 1950's. It was a sunny day, but windy. Cool for May in North Carolina and a great day to paint. The painters spread out from the roadside by the farm to the gardens in the village. I set up next to the barn and waited patiently for the cows to move out into the sun. And waited. And waited. It probably was only five minutes, but I was ready to paint. Finally, a few moved into position. I began to paint. All the cows began to move. They stood still for a bit, I began to paint, they moved. It was an exercise in quick sketching and working from memory. I was able to complete a couple of these intimate sized paintings that are posted here and begin a larger garden painting.
Here are the "Oreo" cows.
