Mommas Love Even The Plain Ones - longhorn cow with calf by Debbie Grayson Lincoln

6X6 Oil on Linen Board $100

Includes Shipping and Insurance US

Part of the "fun" in raising Longhorns is viewing the exquisite coat colors they can display in their offspring. But every now and then you get a dud. This almost white cow belonging to my neighbor, Ron, usually had spectacularly colored calves, but last year she gave birth to this plain little red heifer calf. She was healthy and lively and practically "care free" as Longhorns usually are, and I can assure you that her momma loved her despite her lack of flash...much like most mammas everywhere...
One of the reasons I wanted to paint a white cow was my admiration of a fellow artist's painting of a white horse...not an easy project, but she makes it appear effortless. If you are not yet familiar with Susan Smolensky's work, take a peek HERE.
Psalm 139:3
You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.

Strutting His Stuff - colorful rooster oil painting by Debbie Grayson Lincoln

8X6 Oil on Board $125

Includes shipping and insurance US

Had some leftover paint from another project and just couldn't resist paintings this cocky fellow. Roosters, by their structure, just naturally strut when they walk. Might have something to do with keeping that tail up and waving properly in the air.
Our current rooster is by far the kindest we have ever had. I have been very careful to remain quiet around him and NOT antagonize him. In the past I have found it amusing to "box" with them as they grow - but once they get their spurs, it's not longer fun to be having to watch your back every time you walk across the yard! Out last rooster would come from 100 feet away just to get in the first lick. He has since been relocated. The current flock leader is watchful, as a rooster needs to be, but follows me for food, not sparing practice. And when he finds food, he clucks to his hens to come and get it - always looking out for them first. Right now he's missing most of his tail feathers and some body feathers off his back. I suspect he's been in a scrap - perhaps he even risked his life for the ladies. Sometimes I wish he could talk....
Romans 12:13
Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.

Cruising the Cows - cowboy checking cattle herd

8 X 12 Oil on gessoed board $125

Includes shipping and insurance

He's just checking the cows and the fence and the condition of the grass and looking for that sick cow that needs her foot doctored all while watching out for that big coyote who took down a calf last week. The cows know this "multi-tasker" is on their side and are unconcerned...

I am trying different limited palettes and this is another result. Cad red deep, Cad yellow, Ultramarine blue, dioxazine purple and white. And for fun, I used my I-phone to take the picture. Got a little glare, but it's not bad.
Luke 15:27
And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.

Bumper Crop - Texas prickly pear cactus painting

11X14 Oil on stretched canvas
Check with artist for availability

We may still be in the middle of a drought here in Texas, but the prickly pear fruit crop is no indication - unless they know something we don't know, and they've made so much fruit because this is the last chance they'll get for a long time! Our pecan trees are also loaded with nuts - so many, in fact, that we have had some branches break from the load. We have also had some trees suddenly just die - one peach and my fig. One day green, next day no leaves at all. I suspect it is the extreme heat that did in my fruit tees - sometimes I imagine I can actually hear the sap boiling in them!

Despite the heat we have still prepared the big garden for a winter crop, but I haven't put out seed yet - not while it's still 100+. I am also holding on to several paintings I need to mail - I am afraid they'll melt in the delivery trucks right now! The key to survival is adaptation, and we are certainly trying to rise to the challenges we have faced weather-wise! And we are praying for the rest of the world facing floods and drought. We are all in this together.

Ecclesiastes 11:4
Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest.

Casey's Fantasy - colorful zebra unicorn fantasy painting

 24 X 48 Oil on gessoed masonite

Commission - SOLD

I just completed this painting for some precious people who have given me wonderful encouragement through the years and find exciting ways to inspire and CHALLENGE me!
This painting was "directed" by their daughter, Casey who envisioned this scene of a family of colorful zebra unicorns who live in a castle in the sky.
Casey described this to her mom who in turn passed it on to me. The tall trees that grow the golden eggs - everything! This painting will hang over Casey's bed in her newly re-decorated room.

I am actually rather fond of painting Miss Casey, herself, as she exhibits a wonderful exuberance of life in  everything she does. Oh to be 6 years old again!

Ephesians 3:14-16

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁴ For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹⁵ Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

¹⁶ That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man
