Mule Buddy 2 - by Debbie Grayson Lincoln

8 X 8 on Gallery Wrapped Canvas - ready to hang
$150 includes shipping and insurance US

This is my first effort "post first lesson with Nancy Medina".  Here is the way I painted this mule the first time.
I liked this one, but I REALLY like this second effort.  I have several other paintings I plan to "re-paint" using Nancy's paint palette and techniques. The challenge to teach this old dog some new tricks is on...
Rain is in the forecast this week...fingers crossed. I will be painting either way. It will be too hot or wet. Both conditions will be adequate excuses to keep me in the studio!
Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions.

Loading up the Pack Mule

6 X 8 Oil on MDF Board
$125 includes shipping in US

We have just returned from out annual Colorado trip and despite going later than usual, the timing was still good. We missed three weeks of typical August Texas heat that extended into September. In addition, we caught the beginning of school, so the campgrounds were relatively empty toward the end of our trip. AND THE FISHING WAS GREAT!
Our first two weeks were at Thirty Mile near Creede. Hunting season was fixin' to begin, and nearly every day hunting guides were hauling camping equipment up the mountain - setting up campsites for the hunters.
The first guide I watched pack up was Greg Pearson of Lost Ute Outfitters, and I truly appreciated the opportunity to get some great images of him and his animals.
He was readying 3 mules and an Arabian gelding to haul camp equipment up the Weminuche Trail. This painting is of "Ace", one of the pack mules.
Greg had a set of scales in his trailer that he used to weigh the packs before he balanced them on the pack saddles. I was impressed by how well the load was distributed on the mules as I know what can happen when weight shifts on the back of an animal. It can be scary - especially on the narrow trail up the mountain.
Exodus 23:5  If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen down under its load, do not leave it there; be sure you help them with it.

Mule - Creede, Colorado pack mule at Road Canyon Reservoir

5 X 7 Oil on Panel
Includes shipping and insurance in US
Here's a whimsical little mule painting - again from those handsome fellows I found near Creede, Colorado. The flies are vicious this summer and being at 10,000 feet doesn't exempt this fellow.
I will be attending a crafts's fair locally (in Morgan Mill) Saturday, September 13 and will have all my latest little paintings displayed. Come see me and them in person if you can!


Do not be like a horse or a mule, without understanding, whose temper must be curbed with bit and bridle, else it will not stay near you.
