Bevo's Mama - Longhorn Cow painting by Debbie Grayson Lincoln


6 X 8 oil on gessoed masonite $125
Includes shipping and insurance
It has FINALLY rained enough here in the heart of Texas to fill stock tanks and raise lake levels! All night the metal roof reverberated the sound of rain drops, and this morning the rain gauge showed over 4 1/2 inches - enough to soak in AND fill our pond. We may now be delayed in getting the potatoes planted, but that is a small sacrifice for the moisture. THANK YOU, GOD!
Last week was a good one, too. After her little visit with the bull next door, Aunt Abbey proved to be due to calve in August. The BAD news is that we cannot take our regular trip to Colorado then, but we will adapt.
I have not had much time to paint lately, but this longhorn cow beckoned to me. I do these little paintings as "warm-ups" - before I start in on the large commissioned pieces. It's still raining outside so this afternoon will be another good one for "me time"!

Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the LORD blessed him.

Another Hill to Climb - Longhorn cow oil painting by Debbie Grayson Lincoln

6 X 8 Oil on Gessoed Masonite $115
Includes shipping and insurance in US
We have finally had a bit of rain here in the Heart of Texas and no really cold weather yet. Aunt Abbey the milk cow is enjoying the little patch of oat grass, as is her adopted son the Other Brother Darryl. THIS cow is still looking for grass, though...maybe over that hill yonder?
Spring planning has begun - ordering chicks and seeds are at the top of my list right now. I curl up on the sofa in the evening and pour over the catalogs and make my lists.
All the hens have been very healthy through the winter (and safe from the coyotes and bobcats), but I still like to "replenish" every spring with both mail order chicks and chicks that I will allow one hen to hatch. I just LOVE the sound of a hen clucking to her chicks when she has found a special morsel for them - they are the personification of the perfect mother, putting their babies first in every way.
Luke 13:34
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing.

Team Roping - cowboys team roping oil painting by Debbie Grayson Lincoln

12.5 X 5 Palette Knife Oil on panel
$100 includes shipping and insurance in US
I tried something new - all palette knife work - using an image from a local photographer, Allison Ballinger, of Stephenville (with permission, of course). You can find her work at Cross B Photography, and you won't be disappointed!
I have not posted much this past month - been busy getting the new CFAI website up. For those of you who do not know, I am a minor partner with 4 other artists who are much smarter than I, and we (they) have been working night and day re-designing a website called Contemporary Fine Artists International. I have been a partner/member of this group (as well as Artists of Texas) for 3 years and we have decided to take the site to the next level where artists can not only showcase their work, but also market it. I already belong to DailyPainter.com, and that website serves me very well. But it limits who is allowed to sell there - PLUS it costs $40 a month. CFAI only costs $10 a month. For $5 a month more, artists can direct sell their work and CFAI retains a 15% commission from those sales. My partners are EXPERTS at getting the search engines to find us - a very important part of internet commerce. Check it out - and watch us grow! Not all of the 300+ artists are listed yet, but we are getting there...

You will live by the sword and you will serve your brother. But when you grow restless, you will throw his yoke from off your neck.
