'Red Hen' and Spring Flowers


This painting and the one below of the brahmas are going to be displayed at Earth Pets Organic Feed and Garden (Gainesville, FL) starting tomorrow.  I understand they have real, live chicks on the way and a celebratory event too?  

I want some chicks of my own very badly but as long as we are migratory birds ourselves it is not to be.  Its unlikely they will fit in the car with the 2 dogs, cat, and luggage, nor would they be happy.  Ditto for the dairy goat kids...


8x8 oil on stretched canvas (sold)

If this works you will see spring flowers from my yard below...Early, lovely, yes but we have many evergreen oaks here that have the effect of muting the impact of spring.  No big bang of lime green like in the North (no tulips, daffodils, crocus).  In some spots where deciduous trees dominate there are indeed little red (maple) and green bursts, mainly in swamps, lakesides, and in sinks.

Azaleas, buckeye, wild columbine, camelia (came with the house - why plant one that doesn't smell!),  yellow jessamine, wild plum with someones honeybee, swiss chard (no, not a bloom, but colorful right?  my husband's yummy winter project), Simpson's stopper, and another not-a-bloom: budding red maple.
