HORSES
Horses have been a life long passion and inspiration for me. This is a minute sampling – They range from table top to life size:
BIRDS …………………………………. What wonderful creatures, the variety, the music, their habits and travels are so amazing! And they can fly! It is such fun to reach for their images.
FIGURES …………………………………. Of course how to not play with figures? Sometimes simple wire sketches evolve into large pieces.
OTHER BEASTS…………… Somehow they come to life. And allow imagination to stretch reality.
VESSELS ……………………….. Starting with simple baskets and using various metal wires for color brings these alive. Playing with scale and interior layering adds interest
PAINTINGS. ……………………. Painting was my first serious media. I enjoy Watercolors and also work with acrylics.
FARM
A small MOFGA certified organic sheep farm in Southern Maine. The flock of near 50 sheep are LaCaune /Coopworth crosses. Bred for meat, wool, milk, and parasite resistance.
Cuts of organic Lamb are available at Sanford and Portsmouth Farmers Markets in the Two Toad Farm Stand. Organic Hay is also available in the field in June and through the fall from the barn.
Raising sheep provides a daily privilege, opportunity and responsibility to go outside and move! As well as observe and partake in the miracle of nature through the seasons.
Nurturing Nature For Nutrients!
PHOTOGRAPH Y …………………… As you have seen above, I love to make Photographs. I have been documenting my observed life for many years and thanks to digital cameras have had the luxury to be excessive with my interests in texture, architecture, and the natural world where ever I travel.
