"The Best & The Brightest" Juried Fine Art Exhibition and Sale 2010
February 18, 2010

These wooly ones were resting, all cozy and content, as the early morning sun peeked through the barn door.

I was on a mission that chilly morning while in Vermont one Fall day. I got up bright and early to make it to the barn first thing. I had hoped to see some little newborn lambs. I missed their births by about an hour... but what an experience to see those new babes!

"Early Dawn Peeks Into the Barn" will be included in "The Best & The Brightest" Juried Exhibition and Sale 2010 and the "Celebration of Art" from January 15th to March 28th. Both events will be held in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The photo shown below of the babies didn't make for a very good painting.
However, I did get a good photo of the 'ladies' resting nearby... it was used for 'Early Dawn Peeks Into the Barn.'

What a great morning it was!
Twins... just born. How beautiful!

Painted from life, what stunning colors and shapes lay in the buds of these orchids. So ethereal. They just jumped out and took hold!

... Sunflowers painted from life in the studio.
When watching coverage of the Tour de France cycling race this year, we could see acres and acres of them in the fields of France. What it would be like to see them like that! They must be sooooo spectacular!
Sunflowers and whistling...they just make ya feel happy!
