Harmony, 11x14 floral pastel painting
|
Summer Blooms! I found inspiration from a recent trip to Pennsylvania and Ohio. Coneflowers and daisies stood alert and lovely in the Old Economy Village's garden. My cousins and I toured the Living History setting as part of my family's 90th Reunion event-- during the second weekend of July. I called this first painting Harmony after the Harmony Society who started Old Economy's religious and financial community in the 1800's. This historic preservation site is located in Ambridge, PA.

Texas Night Strut, 8x10 rooster portrait painting
|
One of my latest ArtBirds is a colorful rooster. I have painted roosters before, but not one like this. Most of my roosters have been leghorns. I liked this rooster's confidence and his variety of colors. He's ready for a fun and festive night out!

Morning with Amish Horses,
12x6 farm animal portrait painting
Paul and I headed to Walnut Creek, Amish Country in Ohio, after the family reunion. We toured the Yoder Farm and had a delightful day getting more insight about the plain and simple ways of the Amish. I especially enjoyed meeting their farm animals and visiting the Amish School. I had a chance to talk with the teacher and even look at the students' textbooks. One of their classes is German, although they speak English during the school day. We also sampled some homemade Amish cookies from the kitchen tour of their home. I liked the iced molasses ones best.
