290 White Pony Adieu

One of the projects I am working on right now is a painting of a girl and her pony. The pony will be leaving at the end of this month, so we went out on a soft autumn afternoon to take photos of them at the barn and out on trails, riding through the woods and across a stream on a wooden bridge. This first painting is an idea, I don't know if we will go farther with this or another image.

286 Jersey on the Lawn

We came across this young Jersey cow along with three others not far from our studio. They were busy keeping the grass cut on the front lawn of an old homestead. We got out to take photos (only had phones, not the real cameras), the owner walked up and we got to talking. He was getting ready to take them to a back field for Autumn and Winter but was running a bit late that afternoon. Ten minutes later and they would have been gone from view of the road and remained unknown to us. He told us that he had been planning to buy one of the four from a retiring farmer nearby, but he had ended up in the hospital before completing the deal. While there, his wife completed the purchase. Unsure of exactly which cow he wanted, she bought all four. 

This small painting is the first of the Jersey paintings, one of which will end up as a 30" x 40" or a 36" x 48" painting.

283 Old John Deere

No, it's not a giant mechanized frog from the Fifties. Nor is it proof that aliens have been among us. I found this old John Deere tractor in a shed.  I was down in South Carolina, trying to paint on a day that wasn't too hot or rainy. While walking the farm, looking for the right view to capture all the important elements for the farm painting, I found it. This machine has character. Like a time worn face that show the years of life and love, it tells of years in the fields.  I'm hooked. In fact the next painting will be another old tractor.

282 Foothills Farm

We passed this farm near Marion, NC and had to turn back and stop. Hay had just been cut and was being raked into windrows. We both thought, "I hope it doesn't rain before the get it up." 

I can't resist a red barn with sun shining on a tin roof, so here it is.

281 Sunday Afternoon at Devon

The Devon Horse show has always been one of the special shows for me. Held in a historic showgrounds with a variety of disciplines, Hunter/Jumper, Carriages and Coaches, Hackneys and Saddlebreds it offers an abundance of images for painting. Here is a small impressionistic look at one of the Sunday Afternoon carriages. Did I mention that Devon is near Philadelphia, home of the cheesesteak, which has to join beer as one of Ben Franklin's reasons that we know God loves us.

But the painting - trying to capture that feeling of a sunny Sunday afternoon in May. With horses and carriages, red barns with blue trim and all those elements just a joy to paint.

272 Southern Summer

Carolina Summer, hot, humid, somewhere above the haze is a blue sky and a burning sun. But find a spot in the shade, under a tree or on the porch, maybe a breeze and a glasses of tea. But that's August and it's still only June, so enjoy.
