6 X 6 Oil on Canvas  

SOLD to a collector in Rhode Island

I have been too busy to paint lately, but found myself with a free afternoon yesterday and wondering if I still remembered how to paint!
As a warm-up, I selected an image from my hoard of cow faces shared by my many "cow friends". This is Darcy and she lives in Rhode Island.  Completed in 30 minutes, it re-inforced my confidence, and I happily worked on 2 other commissions after this one. And when I showed it to Darcy's owner, they had to have it - all in all a productive day!

Job 4:5-6

⁵ But now it has come to you, and you are impatient;
    it touches you, and you are dismayed.
⁶ Is not your fear of God your confidence,
    and the integrity of your ways your hope?

Left Out - cow painting

12 X 20 Oil on stretched linen

Can be seen & purchased at the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, TX

One of my "cow friends" requested a painting using our favored bovines as a part of this series. Again, we find the lone animal is not a part of the crowd, but one of the "girls" seem to be offering an invitation, and she is leaning in their direction as if to answer positively.
Luke 1:28

The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”

Proud Gracie - Jersey Cow Portrait

8 X 8 oil on panel $125

Includes shipping and insurance U.S.

In case you hadn't noticed, there are a lot of us folks out here enjoying a self-sufficient lifestyle - raising our own vegetables and meat. And many of us have even ventured into keeping a family milk cow. The Jersey breed enjoys great popularity - I have a Jersey cross myself - but they can be a problem if you don't have a need for 5 to 10 gallons of milk a day! I feed "extra" milk to my dogs and chickens, but they can only eat so much. The perfect solution for us is to let Aunt Abbey raise extra calves. It takes a while, though, for the calves to get big enough to consume all she is producing. So I have been giving away milk (up to three gallons a day) to friends and family.

Today, however, I am grateful to announce that both calves are happily chugging down all of Abbey's bounty and we are no longer milking twice a day. Now I only get enough for our family - every 3 days or so - and the calves take care of the milk the rest of the time.  A perfect compromise.

Psalm 122:8

For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”

#45 Cow Times 3

6 X 8 Oil on board

$125 includes shipping and insurance

Weather remains interesting in my little corner of the world. More tornadoes and threatening weather all around us, yet we remain dry. I am heartened by the knowledge that much of Texas HAS received rain and therefor I should be able to buy hay this summer.
I am nearly ready to quit milking Miss Abbey in preparation of her expected calf in July. I did find a source of raw milk to fill in the nearly 2 month lapse. The Veldhuizen Farm of Dublin, Texas milks a select herd of mostly Jersey cows and sells milk, cheese and yoghurt from a store at the dairy. Mike and I went there today and got our "fix" for a week. My tummy need not be disappointed while we wait for Abbey's calf!
Be sure and tune in tomorrow - I have another time-lapse video of painting one of these cows in the series.
Isaiah 49:23

Kings will be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow down before you with their faces to the ground; they will lick the dust at your feet. Then you will know that I am the Lord; those who hope in me will not be disappointed.”
