Ram

 

Painted for DPW's "Sheep-ish" challenge

from a photo Carol Marine provided.

I like the way the sheep's face seems to be floating

out of his abundant wool.

A neighboring ranch has some sheep

and I have seen them before shearing

where they seem to be huge balls of fluff on feet.

Blue Ice

 

 

​Painted for DPW's 'World Polar Bear Day' Challenge.

This wondrous animal lives in a glacial blue world,

which I tried to depict in the blues of his icy habitat.

But unfortunately, my camera and/or computer

has calibrated the blue as a cobalt,

when in reality, it is a gorgeous shade of glacial turquoise.

 (Despite all my efforts, to date,

I have been unable to find a way to correct the problem.

If I do, I will change out the picture.)

I had been wanting to paint this polar bear

Rose Princess

Princess loves the scent of flowers, especially roses, or the colors, or maybe both.

Her favorite place in the garden is among the pink roses

and other blossoms and flowers..

Occasionally she brings petals, buds or fallen roses as gifts.

They are placed in a jar and used like potpourri.

BFF

When my oldest daughter was a child she loved animals. She had a white cat
that she loved very much. I am sure if the saying was popular then,
she would have said she was her Best Friend Forever.
