Karla's "Tank" - Boston Terrier portrait - Debbie Grayson Lincoln

9 X 12 Oil on mounted canvas panel

SOLD

I have been commissioned to paint a number of pet portraits over the years - some from living animals and some from those who are no longer here to bring us joy. This handsome fellow, Tank, unfortunately is no longer here, but his owner, Karla, did have several good photos for me to work with. The position of his body in the photo we chose begged me place him standing on an edge looking up. I changed the perspective only slightly to reduce the foreshortening a bit, did a quick sketch for Karla's approval and the rest was easy. This adorable pooch was a joy to paint.

Luke 7:3-5

New Living Translation (NLT)

³ When the officer heard about Jesus, he sent some respected Jewish elders to ask him to come and heal his slave. ⁴ So they earnestly begged Jesus to help the man. “If anyone deserves your help, he does,” they said, ⁵ “for he loves the Jewish people and even built a synagogue for us.”

In a Hurry - colorful cow painting by Debbie Grayson Lincoln

6 X 8 Oil on MDF Panel

$110 includes Shipping and Insurance

Cows don't like to run. They just aren't built for it. But sometimes they can be "inspired" to move a little faster than their regular pokey amble. In the past week I have seem my cows run (and leap) several times. The first time was when they discovered every afternoon lately has been banana treat time, and me showing up with a bucket mid-afternoon is reason for haste. The second time was when hail preceded this last round of wonderful rain. Cows AND horses made a bee-line for the barn. And the third running observation of running (and leaping) was of both cows and their calves evacuating our white kitty from the pasture. For some reason they just don't like that cat - and for once I didn't have my camera on me...

I have enjoyed the presence of cows for 35 years and I doubt I'll ever tire of them.

Psalm 18:13

The Lord thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded amid the hail and burning coals.

Following Their Lead - South African lion painting by Debbie Grayson Lincoln

5" X 12.5" Oil on MDF panel

Check with Artist for Availability

I have made a number of on-line acquaintances through a shared love of cows, and the images that inspired this painting came from a friend who farms in South Africa. I can't imagine living close to lions and the concerns they must bring to those living with them. But then people in the US live near bears and mountain lions and coyotes. I guess predatory teeth are similar everywhere and we all must face them!

This painting is leaving for the Dutch Art Gallery in a few days. Since it is an odd size, I already have it in a custom frame and it will be available for purchase, too.

Psalm 57:4

I am surrounded by fierce lions who greedily devour human prey— whose teeth pierce like spears and arrows, and whose tongues cut like swords.

Tongue Lashing - colorful little cow painting by Debbie Grayson Lincoln

6 X 6 Oil on Canvas Panel

SOLD

Sometimes all I need to do to change my mood for the better is paint a cow... a cow with a LOT of personality, like this one. Actually ALL cows have personality, some just more than others.
My cows do this "tongue thing" when they come up to me - anticipating their treats. Lately I have discovered that they LOVE bananas - WHOLE bananas, peels and all.
I work for our church's food pantry occasionally, and recently we were gifted with several cases of very-ripe-eat-today bananas. We just couldn't get rid of all of them, and there is just so much banana bread needed in the world, so I took home half a case and froze them whole (after feeding a bunch each to Sophie and Abbey). They would have gorged on the entire lot, had I allowed it, but fear of bovine tummy aches kept me from indulging them. Now I am thawing out several bananas each for them daily. I don't have to call them from the pasture. As soon as they see me in the barn yard with my bucket of thawed bananas, they come running, drooling with the tongue action in full force.
Have you hugged a cow lately? I can guarantee it'll put you in a hood mood...
Isaiah 40:15

No, for all the nations of the world are but a drop in the bucket. They are nothing more than dust on the scales. He picks up the whole earth as though it were a grain of sand.

Rex and the Doctor's Buggy: "What Is This?" by Debbie Grayson Lincoln

12 X 16 Oil on canvas mounted on board

SOLD and GOING TO ARIZONA

Wow, it seems like MONTHS since I have posted here...wait a minute, it HAS been months! I have been painting - a LOT - and farming and milking and making cheese and missing my grandbabies and visiting with adored relations...

I thought I'd better check in before y'all thought something had happened to me!

This painting is a commission (I have been doing quite a few of them lately) from a fellow cow lover in Arizona. Lisa has a cow and Rex, the horse, a couple mules, chickens and occasional turkeys and pigs. Rex looks particularly handsome pulling the Doctor's Buggy, and Lisa caught a very nicely composed image of him that I just HAD to paint!

I will post all the other pieces I have been working on lately, too, so stay tuned!

1 Samuel 16:12

So Jesse sent for him. He was dark and handsome, with beautiful eyes. And the Lord said, “This is the one; anoint him.”
