Back!

Came back from Indiana today. Of course, it rained 6/8 days I was there, so little work got done. On the bright side, that rooster on the left of the flock shall hereby be known as Nemesis.

Rooster #2, the white one, remains nameless due to his laid-back nature.

Kitties

Finally got a new camera, as the old one croaked about a week ago.

All of the items below are 8x8 inches, acrylic on wood (for the landscape) and canvas (for the cats.)

 Coquette Calico.

 Smell of Snow.

Watermelon Cat.

Pictures taken in Indiana.



Once upon a time, a turkey landed in our back yard.. right over by the chicken coop. Maybe it was trying to tell us something.


A possible dwarf american toad!


Strawberries, picked in the first few days of being at the farm.


A very cute (and harmless) baby northern ring necked snake.


A really nice dog, that is cat-friendly, and needs adoption badly.


Things I've gotten back to in Virginia.


The planters look good. Actually, 'good' is an understatement.



The planters also seem to attract wildlife.. amongst that, there was this rather cute moth.



And now, off to painting-land, babeh~!

A two week haitus.

Basically, in a grand family tradition of six-some years, I get to spend some summer time at my folks' hobby farm in Indiana. Which means slave labor. And all-you-can-eat strawberries. (The hundred plants they've planted a couple of years back have doubled, if not tripled, in number.)

There may or may not be some reading and some artsing. There will be lots of weeding, watering, chiggers and ticks.

Fun times!
