Cheery and Fragrant

Cheery & Fragrant, Coreopsis & Lavender 

5" x 7" original oil painting

gallery wrapped stretched canvas
You can enjoy this painting ‘with’ or ‘without’ a frame !

Available in my online store


Wonderful hues of cheery yellow Coreopsis flowers
complement the shades of
the fragrant Lavender blossoms.

I've included a bit of transparency and reflection
in the lovely cobalt blue vase.
As you visually look-through the vase
you subtlety see a stem inside,
and the table linen behind.

Glints of light reflect off the
polished cobalt glass vase
as light also passes through the vase
casting a pleasing blue hue shadow.

This vintage two-handled porcelain sugar jar
hosts some lovely coneflowers from my garden.

The moody pink hues of the flowers reflect into
the surfaces of both the pretty sugar jar and its lid.

The low light setting enhances the flowers
with soft reflections even onto the table surface.

I've painted these lovely pansies
in a loose style to give you
a fleeting blur of color and form
to be reminiscent of a fleeting rainbow.

Some of the pansies are more in-focus
and some are more blurred
to give them the appearance of
an impressionistic glance.

On Watch, Alert Alpaca

On Watch, Alert Alpaca

5" x 7" original oil painting
gallery wrapped stretched canvas

Available in my online store


Alpacas are known as
quiet and friendly animals...
providing us soft alpaca fiber.

Many breeders of both sheep & goats
(and chickens too!)
use alpacas as guard animal
protectors for their flocks.

Alpacas are often 'On Watch'
while the other animals graze.
Alpacas guard against foxes,
and many other predators,
which is most important during
lambing & kidding season
when the farms are abundant
with newborn lambs and kids.

Alpacas, compared to the many
other animals in the world,
are undoubtedly intelligent.
Also being friendly, quiet, and herd social,
they're great creatures to get to know!

While mingling amongst them
I've decided that each alpaca,
much like individual people,
has its own personality
and lovable beauty.

A Hug Please, Wooly Sheep

A Hug Please, Wooly Sheep
8” x 10” original oil painting
gallery wrapped stretched canvas

Available in my online store

Sheep with their docile
and friendly nature are
interesting social animals.

I've found them to have
a lot more personality than
many people would imagine.

It doesn't matter if you're
with them in the farmyard or barn.
A curious sheep, like this one,
will come close, look at you,
and then cause you to wonder
what the sheep would like to say.
So... you simply 'give it a hug of love'
(works for people too!)

Farmyard Gossip, Alpacas


Farmyard Gossip, Alpacas
5" x 7" original oil painting
gallery wrapped stretched canvas

Available in my online store

These two alpacas
were standing together
and looking like they were
sharing some juicy gossip.
Of course they were
just chewing their cud.

Those of you that have followed me
and my paintings over the years
know of my fondness
for wooly farmyard animals.
Although I more often paint sheep,
I also enjoy alpaca for their
gentleness, beauty, intelligence,
and individual personalities.

Looking For My Friends, Alpaca

This alpaca is attentively
Looking for My Friends,
keeping an awareness as to the
whereabouts of its family group.

Alpacas enjoy the company of
other alpacas. As herd animals
they develop social relationships
among each other.

At a recent alpaca show,
as individual alpaca were separated from
their family group for judging,
we could see and hear their caring concern
that they express for each other
when one alpaca departs
or returns to the family group.

Those of you that have followed me
and my paintings over the years know
that sheep and their lambs are
a great fondness of mine.

In this painting, I've tried to capture
the cuddly softness of the
fuzzy & fluffy baby lamb wool.

Friendly, yet playful together
these two newborn lambs are
wonderfully adorable.
