Playing in the snow


We worked Saturday to get all the animals fed knowing this was coming. So when Sunday came my girl had to get out in it. She had so much fun playing in the snow. She played with the tractors, slide down the slide, and threw snow balls.


Even the barn did not keep all the snow out. The old Model A showed its winter style. In true Oklahoma fashion it will all disappear by Wednesday.

While the snow blew outside I am working on a new painting. The hair is a challenge but the calf iss just so cute. No it is not near done but I do keep busy. God bless.

Playing in the wheat



She begged her daddy to let her play in the seed wheat that we were cleaning out of the grain drills. Finally after about 5 minutes he agreed. She was playing having a blast. I opened the back hatch to be able to watch her while I worked. We had been working for about ten minutes when we heard a blood curling scream. She was scampering out of the truck. About the time we head to see the fuss a small mouse runs across the open hatch. She was so scared she would not even go and get her shoes. Daddy had to.

Slowing down following a tractor

We had to take the big tractor to get worked on. When you get to travel 25mph for an hour you have two options wish you could hurry up or enjoy the scenery. The leaves were changing and the day was gorgeous.


You can see the colors changing as the old tractor smokes like a freight train. 





The old pump jacks just looked really neat.   


This old homestead is really a place I may come back to and photo again it has such a look about it. Strong and steady. 


Well Next time you can take the chance to see what is around at a slower pace.  God Bless

Finishing the painting of a Model A

 We worked from dawn til dusk and beyond on this last day of class. I added the green wash in before lunch.




While it was still damp, I added my rust colors into it to add the old feel. It then started getting dark and time was flying faster than a witch on All Saints day morning. So I skipped my picture taking to get'er done attitude. I do love this work, even if it is on paper.
