Moonlight Stroll - longhorn oil painting by Debbie Grayson Lincoln

6X6 Oil on Canvas $125
Includes Shipping and Insurance in US
By this time last year I had completed one new painting...2012 was not productive for me at all. I guess every artist encounters a block occasionally, and last year I hit mine. This year I have more on my plate than ever, but I have still managed to paint nearly every day. Not all of the results have pleased me, but the efforts have, and I have benefitted greatly. Sometimes the best way to get past a block is to simply chip away at it a tiny bit at a time.
This longhorn cow is a member of a herd of assorted cattle that I pass on the way to Stephenville. Her physique is not much to brag about, but her horns are really impressive. Every time I drive by this ranch, I look for the herd, and if they are near the road I stop to get images. I think most of Erath County has honked at me at one time or another while I wade through the chigger-infested right-of-way to get my pictures!
Mimi report for my family: Mom is still in re-hab, and looking good! She has lost weight, but no longer looks pinched, and her appetite has returned (along with complaints about the food!). All pain is gone and she gets a good 2 hour workout daily. The Occupational Therapist says she can go home in 2 weeks and the Physical Therapist seems ready to agree to the same schedule. We have a consult with the oncologist next Tuesday to decide on what to do about the lung lesion. Your continued prayers are certainly welcome!
Psalm 84:3
Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young— a place near your altar, Lord Almighty, my King and my God.

Over the Top - bison buffalo and calf oil painting by Debbie Grayson Lincoln


10 X 10 Oil on mounted canvas
Check with Artist for Availability
I was rummaging through some old images from our trip to Wyoming 5 summers ago and found my file of bison photos. Just outside of Jackson, Wyoming we found an enormous herd of cows and their calves - I was in heaven. We hung around the Jackson Hole area for a couple weeks, camping in various places, including all the way up to Yellowstone. I acquired some of the best pictures I have ever taken on that adventure....
On this one, I limited my palette to just five tubes of paint: black (which I RARELY use), cad yellow light, Indian red, ultramarine and white. Way out of my comfort zone, but fairly harmonious nevertheless....
Psalm 119:76
May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant.

This is my favorite cow that belongs to my neighbor, Ron. He no longer has her or her calf, but I still have a million photos of them!
Have a WONDERFUL 4th of July celebration, dear family, friend and collectors. I will be spending it with my daughter's family - eating fried chicken and other assorted forbidden goodies and playing with my grandchildren.

Twisted - longhorn cow oil painting

12 X 12 oil on gessoed panel
Check with Artist for availability
I never run out of models. My neighborhood is full of horses and cattle. By "neighborhood" I mean within 100 miles of my house.
I was talking to my Connecticut cousin, Nancy, the other day and she commented about how Texans think nothing of driving a ways for a day trip. I agreed. Dallas is 2 hours NE of me and Marble Falls is a little farther in the opposite direction and neither place is anywhere NEAR the border, but I go there and back in a day regularly! Heck, San Antonio is a straight 220 miles due south of us and that's an EASY trip! And you'd still be 200 miles from the border. It's all relative....
Ezekiel 16:34
So in your prostitution you are the opposite of others; no one runs after you for your favors. You are the very opposite, for you give payment and none is given to you.

Shore Bird - tribute to Rick - not a horse or a cow oil painting

9X12 Oil on canvas $150
Includes shipping and insurance
My fellow artist friend, Rick Nilson, lives in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina and paints beach scenes and beach critters and boats like I paint horses and cows - only better! Every now and then he paints a horse, and I feel compelled to paint a shore bird. So this is my tribute to Rick.
My daughter moved to Bay City, Texas last summer and I have only seen her twice since then. I miss her and her family terribly, but I know she is happy in that hot, sticky coastal climate, where she can garden year round, fish in Matagorda Bay and actually play in the rain. They are coming to visit Wednesday, and I do not know if I am more excited about the sea trout they promised to bring or seeing my granddaughters!!!

I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees their fruit.

Downhill Cattle Drive 3 - Longhorns headed downhill oil painting

10 X 20 Oil on mounted canvas
Check with artist for availability
Every animal in this herd has a set of trophy-worthy horns and the cowboy remains a respectful distance from them!
Texas is experiencing a "cold spell" today. It's nearly 4:00 pm and it's only 86 degrees - delightful! I don't know what we did to deserve it, but I have never been one to look a gift horse in the mouth, so I am enjoying...
The corn was ripe and harvested last week within two days. It was so hot that anything left longer was already too starchy to eat, BUT the cows love it! I am stripping several rows every morning and picking the remaining little ears to give to Abbey and Sophie . The "welfare cows" are waiting for me as I head to the garden with my Homer bucket. I don't need to call them up. Cows are so easy to teach new routines.
Next on the harvest block are the black eyed peas...eating is never boring at our house...
Revelation 14:15
Then another angel came out of the temple and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, “Take your sickle and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.”
