Today’s painting is the 2nd in my “chicken series” for the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. We have a retirement home for chickens here on our hobby farm, so they have been the subject of a number of my paintings. Not only do I really like chickens, but …
Today’s painting is of a rooster which reminds me of our old rooster Kingley, a bantam who lived a long, happy life here on our farm. My daughters name this painting for me. They said he needed a French name. “Francois”, oil on canvas, 6″x6″ $75 (CAD) and FREE shipping …
Today’s Day 5 painting for the 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge is a local landscape. About 2 years ago, we went on a tour of our local wineries with cousins. It was a fun time and I took lots of reference photos. I can’t remember which winery this was, …

Today is our dog Roxy’s first birthday, so I painted her. Last year for the 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge, I painted our old beagle, Deuce, who died just before Christmas, a month before the challenge. I waited until the last day, because I wasn’t sure if I would …

Today’s painting is “Marshville Sawmill”. I really like painting old architecture. It has real character and a story to tell.
