Friday, November 21, 2014. Some Exciting News and Some New Work. I was asked earlier in the year to submit some images of my work and brief descriptions of how I go about making my collages for possible inclusion in a book on drawing techniques. The book's author is renowned UK artist and art blogger Katherine Tyrrell. Now I am very happy to announce that I did indeed make the cut and some of my work found on the pages of an internationally published book! And North Light Books. Blue Ribbon - 10x8 painte...

Sunday, March 30, 2014. More Snow, More Lambs, and a Video! If my calculations are correct, today is our 124th day of winter and we are enjoying yet another snowstorm. This must be pretty close to a record, I would think. I made the mistake of walking out to our back pasture this morning to get a shot of the farm. I should have gone on skis because the snow was over my boots. As you can see, even my dog wasn't sticking around. And now for the exciting art related news:. Links to this post. March arrived ...

Saturday, May 17, 2014. Spring is really and truly here at last. Everyday the landscape around us gets a little greener. The trees are getting their leaves; our pear trees are blooming. My sheep are out on pasture now, which makes them very happy. Our fences aren't completely repaired yet, which makes me a little less happy since I have a hard time keeping the sheep where I want them. Freckles 7x5 painted paper collage on panel.

Don't know what ringworm is? Count yourself among the fortunate. We have a multi-cat household: three cats in the house, two in the studio, three in the barn - and five of them (the house and studio cats) came down with ringworm! And then all the humans in our household also got ringworm. Just writing about it makes me itch.

Wednesday, August 27, 2014. Have We Any Wool? Yes, lots more than three bags full- probably more like twenty! The lambs were shorn yesterday, and I got twelve pretty fleeces off them. Including the ones from when the ewes were shorn back in the spring, we have a lot of fleeces to clean and send off to be milled into roving. Here is a selection of the raw fleece colours. I think they are lovely, and the raw wool is incredibly soft to the touch. Black Border-Leicester- Blue Faced Leicester cross. 8x10 pain...
