Goats in the Pumpkins

What's more fun than painting goats and pumpkins in October?!!  I love having animals on the farm - especially when they are as sweet as these young ones!  This painting is showing at Powell Gardens until November 11th, when I'll be installing new paintings for the holidays!  Painting number 4685 in 4685 days. 

Goats and Sunflowers

These sweet young goats are irresistible as they help clean up various areas on the farm, and I am enjoying them so much!  They have the funniest calls whenever they see me - or any other person who might feed them. I toss weeds in, and they love them! The bonus is that I don't have to take them to the burn pile.  I want to paint them near the barns, too.  I can already see the paintings in my head, if I can just get to them!  This one is now showing at Powell Gardens until November, and is painting number 4644 in 4644 days. 

Goats in the Pumpkins

It's super fun to sketch these inquisitive young goats at play, as they clean up the brush in the old barn lot.  I just added the pumpkins today, hoping to add a few seasonal paintings to my upcoming Powell Gardens collection.  I think they like being so near our chickens, and the chickens definitely love their company, too!  I'm really embracing my family farm era these days - and can't wait to fill my papers up with chickens, cows and goats!
