The greens look misty in the back and punchy in the front- I really like them.  This brushstroke style in the grass is a bit more mechanical and controlling than I am used to but admittedly, I started off with a brush that was round (instead of square which I normally use) and too small.  It was too late by the time I realized it so it was a bit painful to do the grass but I love the result none the less.  The sheep are great, I really liked trying to achieve painting anatomy with a certain fluffyness, tricky, but it worked here.  Sheep have really weird proportions - very small legs, and their faces are bizarre when you start to look at the.  They are cute none the less- these sheep are from a farm on Amherst Island.

What can I say about this one....geometric colourful madness, and cows!  Love it.

Trudy's Turkeys

Acrylic on Canvas, 12" x 16", SOLD

Trudy loved these Turkeys!  She raised them, herself and then we processed the meat together.  It was an absolute honour to help her out with the process.  She is a fourth generation cattle farmer but new to the bird thing.  I have had some experience with my chickens so she asked if I would show her the process.  Trust me, you really have respect for your food after a day of Turkey processing - very hard work.  These Turkeys had a great life. 

I love the feathers in this painting. There is just the right number of brush strokes to convey their texture in the shadows of the barn.  Love the expressions on these guys, priceless.  Turkey proportions are weird and hard to paint!  I love the composition they make in this piece.
