Say Cheese

Say Cheese  6x6 oil on museum board

Each of these cows has a unique look and personality.
This big girl came running up to me with a big smile
on her face, practically begging me to paint her!
Say Cheese!

Meet the Neighbors

Meet the Neighbors  8 x 16 Oil on Canvas

Slowly but surely I'm getting more settled everyday in France.
That means I have more time and energy to paint!

I wanted to introduce you to my neighbors. They were
practically begging me to do this family portrait.
Robi and I met these guys just about a mile away from our
house when we decided to head down a new trail
we hadn't explored before. 

As I've said before, new inspiration waits around
every corner.
Ahh, France!

Evening Glow

Evening Glow 12  x 12

I'm moo-ving!

Yes, it's crunch time here in Malta.  Let's face it,
those boxes don't pack themselves!
The movers arrive at the end of  the week to take
everything I want to ship so I need to get crackin'.
Or I should say packin'.

Of course I'd rather be painting:)

By the time next Monday rolls around we'll be on our
adventure!

If you missed my newsletter and didn't get the details
so you can look froward to where we're going and what we'll do!

Les Charolais

Two in the Brush 6x6 oil on museum board

I loved the way these two cows peeped around
the bushes to get a better look at me.
They actually stopped chewing for a second:)

Good Morning

Good Morning 8x8 oil on museum board

There is just something about the French charolais cows
the appeals to me, an indescribable 'je ne sais quoi'.
Maybe it's their long dreamy eyelashes and their curious
personalities.  Maybe it's just the way the light
skips across their well rounded form.
France is not the place to skimp on what you eat!

Burgundy Friends

 
Burgundy Friends 6x6 oil on board
 
These are the famous Charolais cows that surround
my country french house in Burgundy.
Some of the other specialities of the region
include snails, mushrooms, and of course the famous
And did I forget to mention cheese?
Our house is just ten minutes from the  historic
with hundreds of vintners, a delightful gastronomic adventure!
 
What was I talking about? Oh yeah, cows.  They are always so
cute and curoius. They just look at you with their big brown
eyes and sweet expressions, chewing and chewing,
constantly chewing when they're not mooing that is.
