"Leister Ram Yearling"

12x9 oil on canvas

here's another sheep painting for the crawl..this is 12x9 and i've placed it in a beautiful gold frame so the full size is around 20x16!.. many thanks to Shelly Liebler (Shellyliebler.smugmug.com) for permission to use her photograph.  this is a leister sheep who was born in 2019 so he's considered a yearling.  the crawl starts this friday and i will be at the ClayPurl in nashville in the afternoon.. after i've had lunch with some of my besties, of course!!😊.. then on saturday i'll check in with our local shop, Shabby Sheep and Ewe, the place this whole thing started! i'll be taking note cards and a few paintings.. and if i ever get them done..some watercolor bookmarks!

"Growing up in Colonial Williamsburg"

12x12 oil on gallery wrap canvas

so this is another of the paintings ive done thanks to the generosity of others!.. this is from nancy saputo.  she is possibly the official photographer for the colonial williamsburg fan page.. not sure but she posts amazing photos every day!.. she's the same one who offered the sleeping lamb that i posted earlier..and i may have gotten her name wrong in that post.. i'll have to check and i can fix it if i need to!..time is running out..and i still have such great fodder i'd like to get to..not sure i'll have time!

delivery for a client "In the Pasture"

18x18 oil on canvas

so my new friend Janelle came down from carmel to pick up the commission i've been working on for some time!.. we finally connected and i was delighted to meet her after all this chatting back and forth by text....since i had so many Roving Indiana pieces lying around, she decided to browse a bit.. these guys, especially the alpacas, are so funny..she really fell in love with several.. then she thought of her brand new grandson and what would go well in his room..we found the perfect thing.. a painting i did several years ago that i cherish and i'm so glad she felt the same way!  it's called "Gang of Goldens"

this was framed in a darkish distressed frame and she loved it!!  i am a happy girl!!

"Silly Alpaca"

7x5 oil on panel

so this little fellow was fun to paint!.. those alpacas are ridiculous..they're so cute.. often found kissing...this is framed in a nice light blue wooden frame.. available..and will be on the yarn crawl!
still working on finishing a few things up so they can be drying while i work on bookmarks.. getting things organized as to where i will be visiting also..
