Farm Scene

 

I was asked to do a painting of the farm from which the original windows and window frame came from. The house is approximately 150 years old. The bricks were made in Attica and put on a wagon pulled by horses to the Elba Station. They raised Kerr head sheep and dairy cows. There is a mounting block beside the tree to walk the horse up to and make it easier to mount.
I decided to paint this in Acrylic on museum quality hardboard and also painted the boarder so it will be durable and long lasting.

Rose

 
 

 
 
 
 Double Delight
 
Last month was the Troy garden walk in which some artists were invited to paint during the walk. It was a beautiful day and many people came through. I painted in a garden full of many varieties of roses. the one I chose to paint which I believe is named Double Delight caught my eye. It can vary with more yellow in it also.
This is an Acrylic medium on a 11 x 14"  canvas . The beautiful thing about acrylic, I can make it look like watercolor, oil or textured, etc.

House Wren

 

 
 
 
 
House Wren Singing
I usually have a little story about my paintings and there is a very special story about this House Wren that I will be sharing in the future. For now I hope it brings you joy and a good feeling with the beautiful colors of the roses and the wren has a reason for singing.

Dairy Cow

 


 
 
Sugar Hill Peerless Aaron 4k was affectionately know around the farm as 'Sugar'.
 She was the first Milking Shorthorn purchased by the Delong family. Sugar became the matriarch of the Milking Shorthorn breeding program on the Delong farm and to this day has a daughter and several 2nd and 3rd generation daughters on the farm. Sugar had a gentle disposition and was shown by the two young daughters of the Delong family in numerous competitions where she brought home purple banners and blue ribbons.
Sugar lived 14 long years on their farm and will always be remembered as one of the 'great ones'.
 
This commissioned piece is an 11x14" Acrylic painting on canvas. Thank you
