160 Snow Bird

Today we got seven inches of snow and a couple inches of sleet on top.We filled the feeders three times today. Probably put out over 5 lbs of sunflower seeds in the bird feeders. I caught this bird as it sat on a tree outside the kitchen window. Off to the studio (it's twenty five feet from the house) to work on this painting. The colors are a little more subtle, but there are oranges and blues that might not make the transition to the computer screen.

158 Tree Frog Tree

The frogs should be happy here today. Seems like it was only a week ago that we were having highs of 30. This morning it is 61 and raining. Snow on the weekend? I will be waiting until I can hear the chorus of tree frogs in the evening...

157 Titmouse

With winter being here, titmice, chickadees, juncos, cardinals and even woodpeckers are eating at the bird feeders. Fifty pound bags of sunflower seeds seem to disappear in days. Maybe not days.... The little titmouse goes to the feeder, takes one seed in its beak and flies off to a tree branch were it works on the seed, eats it and flies back. I wonder how it gets enough food. Sort of like eating steamed crabs, go through about a half a dozen and then go get a meal....

156 Fox Hound - Enough

I photographed this hound at an opening meet of a local fox hunt. He was sitting in front of a priest who was giving the blessing of the hounds. Looking at his expression I can see him thinking "Enough already, lets go!"

152 Farm Pond with Cedars 2

Part 2 of the previous post. Why a diptych (two separate paintings meant to show as one)? I was anxious to start a painting of the farm. I was deeply involved in finishing commissioned painting, so I decided to do a more intimate size painting, but the proportions of the canvas just wouldn't work. I happened to have two canvases on the easel at the time, so, "Why not a diptych?" The two paintings as shown together below.

151 Farm Pond and Cedars I

A farm near Oxford. Rows of cedars along the fence line. Rolling hills. I have driven past this farm for nearly twenty years. The small conical cedars growing along the fence have become large trees. A couple of houses have been added but it remains a gem in the landscape of North Carolina.

150 Lead line

The Blowing Rock Charity Horse asked me to do a painting for the 2010 show poster. I have been looking through photos of the show, gathering references for the work. I came across a photo of this girl and her mom, taken by Cathrin Cammit. It looks like she won the lead line class, that's a blue ribbon in her hand.

149 Halflinger

This painting is on a 6 x 6 canvas. Last month I was commissioned to paint five pony paintings on 6 x 6 canvases. Since I really hadn't worked in a square format before (I like to paint these paintings a standard size that can be easily framed. The five pony paintings were hung as a group unframed.) so I bought a few extra to work with.
My wife had a halflinger named Alf, a few years ago, I thought he was a great horse (he neither kicked or bit me), so I decided paint one. Since he was 14.1 and 1200lbs, I guess this can also be considered a pony painting.
