Two Barns

Two barns are all that is left and those are barely standing. The pastures are growing up to brush and if the neighbor didn't mow the fields, the Sumac would creep out to overtake the hay. Peaceful, beautiful and sad.

Red Tailed Hawk

So if you are a mouse or some other unfortunate rodent you may be in trouble with this guy. I love the determination in his eye or is that hunger? It's been a long winter and the snow was deep so I guess he is due a mouse or two. You can't imagine the talking I had to do to get him to hold that pose for even ten minutes!

Our Boar Goats

This may sound strange to those of you who aren't familiar with goats but they are some of the sweetest animals. Everyone thinks little lambs and puppies are the best but there is nothing like a baby goat's silky hide and sweet face. Much easier to raise than sheep. Come visit our herd sometime while you stop at my gallery!

Waterfall at the Center of Town

I love to work with water or rather I love what my pastel does with water. I find that I do a few painting then it;s back to water again. This very small falls in the center of Westhampton became quite powerful when increased in size with my paper choice. This painting was in Springfield at the Academic Artist's Association Member's Show for the month of June.
