This painting reminds me of my Finnish grandmother's kitchen in the Bronx. She was always baking something. Her apple fritters, though, were heavenly!

Rooster

Oil on Canvas Panel (Museum Grade)

6x6

Purchase Information

Ten years ago, my family moved from the Washington, DC area to a farm in a rural part of Texas.  Of course, we wanted chickens.  Thrilled to learn that roosters are not necessary for eggs, we happily purchased a variety of young hens and soon began to enjoy the "fruits of their labor."

One day, a friend of my husband's announced that he knew someone who had too many roosters.  Would we be willing to take one?  Halfheartedly, we said we might be interested.  A week or two passed.  Then, our lives changed.  Upon returning from a day of errands, we saw a newcomer among our flock--a scrawny, white leghorn rooster.

This bird had issues.  It was mean.  And it didn't sleep.  The crowing began around 2 AM and lasted throughout the night -- ten minutes of the most maniacal screeching followed by twenty minutes of an uneasy quiet.  Then the peace would be broken again with more ear-piercing howling.  This lasted for eleven days--ten days too many.  Needless to say, it was me or the rooster.  I won.

As we ponder a return to the farm on a full-time basis in a few years, the thought of having a rooster has returned.  They can't all be like that first one, right?  Surely, the one we got was possessed, correct?  Please feel free to convince me!  Meanwhile, enjoy this colorful, QUIET rooster painting.  You'll have a great night's sleep.

The Prairie Sky

Oil on Gallery-Wrapped Canvas

36x36

As promised, here is the final painting.  The barn and windmill are from our homestead in Schulenburg, Texas.  This kind of minimalist look is a definite departure for me; however, I am pleased with the results.  

I am still toying with the name.  The working title, "The Prairie Sky" is from the song, "Deep in the Heart of Texas":  

The prairie sky is wide and high

Deep in the heart of Texas

I've lived in this state for ten years and still don't know all the words (I am shocked that I haven't been sent packing!), yet that phrase keeps popping in my head when I look at this painting.  

Any other name ideas?  This isn't set in stone yet!  Let me know.  If I choose yours, I'll send an 8x8 print to you as a small token of appreciation.

I need to obtain a better photograph before providing purchase information (and will do another post on this blog at that time).  Please let me know if you would like to receive details as they become available later this week.  Thanks!

Striped Pumpkin

Oil on Belgian Linen Panel

6x6

Available

Here's another little charmer.  This pumpkin has, miraculously, survived on my desk for the past year.  It's time on this planet is limited, though.  Before saying "goodbye" and adding it to the compost bin, I chose to immortalize my little bulbous friend.  You made me smile!

Miniature Painting/ACEO Art Card #21 - Rooster

Acrylic on Bristol Series 300

2.5 x 3.5
SOLD

We had three baby chicks in my backyard.  As long as they were hens, my neighbors were "on board" with this arrangement (they ARE legal in my town). Imagine my shock when I went outside to visit with them (the chicks, not the neighbors) and one started crowing at me!  (I admit, as he grew, he was starting to look a little different....)  

Clearly, eggs are not in his future. Needless to say, he now resides on a farm in La Grange.  This little painting pays homage to that little cock....  :)

What could be better than a fresh egg, fried in butter?  Two fresh eggs, fried in butter, of course!

Fresh eggs from backyard chickens have spoiled me.  Their color, texture, and flavor are incomparable to store-bought cartons of questionable origin and ethics.  In honor of those hardworking hens, I have immortalized  one of their incredible gifts for my breakfast plate.

Aermotor Windmill

Oil on Canvas

30x30x1 3/8

Available

Welcome to farmlife!  This old Aermotor windmill is located in front of my Schulenburg, Texas farmhouse and was used by my husband's grandparents to pump water from the well beneath it.  We now have an electric well pump; but, the charm of this energy harvester remains.  Perhaps, someday,  it can be placed in service again as one of the work horses of the farm....
