"Spring Winds in Sullivan, Maine" 6x8 oil on copper Sold.  Thank you!

    It was very hot in Maine today! 

I decided to work at home in the coolness of my house!

I looked at my favorite Willard Metcalf painting and decided to add more bright blues

and oranges to this painting.  I also increased the sea foam just like Metcalf. 

I added a schooner in the background on the right just like Metcalf.  That was a fun

painting!

   It was a perfect night to run on Sandy Point Beach!

   Have a great night!

"Faithful" 6x8 oil on copper 450$ framed in gold or black with gold.  Shipping included.

     I decided to paint the water darker and more dramatic to create the feeling of safety inside the boat!

 I prefer painting little boats more than other subjects.

I am always pleased with the paintings.

"Rowers Wanted" 5x7 oil on copper Sold.  Thanks.

    I found both of these little boats in Stonington. 

I was so pleased to find the white boat. 

I loved the design. 

I loved the neutral colors of the scene.

I showed Robert this painting and asked him for a painting title.

He said the painting was very pretty.  Then he said, "Rowers Wanted". 

   Ted and Luke were driving by our house yesterday when Luke started to bark.

Luke wanted to visit us.

Poppy may have been the most excited to see Luke.

    Lily was digging a hole.   Monet had his spikey green ball.  Poppy was dancing around!

    Poppy thinks there is something special about Luke.  She won't allow him to visit with Lily.

She charged Luke and nipped him in his private parts when Luke sniffed Lily! 

    I had plans to paint at an apple orchard. 

There were so many bees this was impossible.

There were thousands of bees swarming. 

    I could have worn my beekeeping suit but it would not protect the bees from the oil paint.

I watched for a while and went home. 

   I admired the lilacs.  

Have a good night!

   I wanted to see how Stonington looks in Spring.  I wasn't disappointed!

   Apple trees were blooming!  Lupines were starting to bloom!

"Stonington White Lilacs" 4x5 oil on copper 250$ framed in gold and shipped.

   I wanted to paint the beautiful white lilacs! 

"Lupine Scented Laundry" 4x5 oil on copper 250$ framed in gold and shipped.

   I couldn't get this scene out of my mind last night. 

I decided to paint more lupines! 

   Monet, Poppy, and Lily love to play the alligator game under my chair!

They all open their mouths and hiss like an alligator.

Poppy likes to use the chair as a shelter so she can launch herself at the others. 

They are quite entertaining!

   I would have loved to paint this scene but it would take me many days! 

Have a great Memorial Day weekend.  To see all of my available works, look at the top of

this page under Paintings!  Thanks.  It is a great day to buy one or two!

"The Tower Cottage" 4x5 oil on copper 250$ special framed in gold with shipping included.

   Yesterday at Bayside, North Port I admired this cottage once again. 

   This is the second time I have found myself standing in front of The Tower cottage.

    I don't know what it is about this cottage that fascinates me. 

    The feeling of this cottage is so different than Mrs. Butter's cottage from yesterday.

      I hope to discover who lives in this cottage and it's story someday while painting there.

    Lily went to the vet to have a small broken tooth looked at. 

The vet said it is not infected but will need to be removed someday.

Lily was so amusing at the vet waiting her chance to be seen.

She sat in the chair like a person.

She placed her feet on the window ceil to look outside.

She was very quiet when she saw a dog. 

The vet said Lily was beautiful and healthy.

   Luke took the golden retriever dog toy Lola out of the car, grabbed it by the neck, shook it,

then buried it in his backyard. 

Ted said Luke buries things he doesn't like in the backyard.  So that was that!

Have a good night.

"Mrs. Butter's Cottage" 4x5 oil on copper.  Sold today.

I am pleased this painting will be headed to Scotland!  Thank you!

"Mrs. Butter's Cottage"  4x5 oil on copper  sold.  Thank you!!

     I met with painters at North Port to paint cottages by the sea. 

I saw this red cottage, felt a loving feeling, and started to paint.

A beautiful hummingbird hovered around the Lilacs!

   I discovered a story about the cottage while I was painting.

 Mrs. Butter once lived in the cottage.  She loved her little Bayside cottage so much.

She kept her cottage in perfect condition.

When Mrs. Butter passed away her three children were left to care for the cottage.

One daughter took responsibility until she could not care for the cottage all by herself.

 The cottage was left without any maintenance. 

 The cottage is starting to fall off it's foundation.

I could imagine Mrs. Butter sitting on her porch. 

The color of the trim looked like the color of butter. 

   Here is another cottage with beautiful lilacs blooming near it's windows. 

I discovered the cottages along the street in the center of town have lively parties in the Summer.

I am glad I painted today in North Port.

  The stories make the paintings meaningful to me. 

Have a good night!

   Robert and I and all our dogs were at the beach today.  We bumped into Luke and Ted.

We introduced Luke to Lola. 

Immediately Luke admired her.

   Lola was surrounded by all the dogs. 

They greeted her like she was a 'real' dog!

  Lily decided to be submissive to the new addition. 

  Luke took a very close look.  Hmmmm...

  Monet decided to check out Lola!

Luke growled.  Hey this is my girl Monet!

  Lily decided to take Lola. 

Luke growled at her so we decided Lola was safer in Ted's car.

   Lily thought this was an amazing beach find!

  When Lola was in Ted's car, Luke ran over to the car, and Ted lifted Luke inside.

Luke sat in the backseat with Lola. 

Off they all went.  Ted was laughing.  I think he will have a fun time with Lola.

"We've Got Rhythm" still working on it!

I worked on this painting last night.

Here is the painting before I worked on it last night.  Just made small changes.

I am trying to decide whether to continue to paint 4x5 or start

to paint larger paintings since the weather is perfect and the scenery is amazing. 

I wonder if I can do both!   Have a good night!

"Daisy Power" 4x5 oil on copper sold Thank you!

"Flash" 5x4 oil on  copper.  Sold Thank you!

   I am so grateful for two tiny painting sales off my website.

These paintings will be heading to Sweden!  Thank you!

   Thank you Alison Dibble for this photo. 

I was painting at the Raven's Nest in Schoodic a few days ago.

    The Asticou Garden's cherry tree was blooming a few weeks ago.

   I had our back door open today.  Temperatures were so nice.  It felt so nice to have fresh air in the house!

I thought the deck's gate was closed.  The dogs were laying on the deck enjoying the sun.

I was spring cleaning in the house.  It was very quiet.  I looked out on the deck.

The deck's gate was open!

I ran down the stairs.

All three dogs were in their private dog park in the backyard!

Monet, Poppy, and Lily were laying down on the grass playing.

I stood there and laughed. 

They were having a grand time all by themselves. 

They really do love their gated area. 

I closed the gate behind me.

They ran up to me with various toys. 

Have a good night. 

   We went out for a drive today.

   We found a Golden Retriever toy at the local antique store for 25$.

   Right away I knew we had to have it!

   I know Luke will be thrilled with his new girlfriend.

"Stonington's Autumn Quarter Moon" 14x20  oil on copper sold.  Thanks.

    Today I decided to rework a lot of this painting. 

   I decided the white little boat in the foreground needed to go!

   Here is the painting before I worked on it today. 

I reworked most of the painting.

I am just happy the white boat is gone.

I also prefer the sky now instead of the red ring around the quarter moon.

    Robert was attending to the bees this morning.

One hive survived the winter out of two.

He will order a new nuke to replace the hive that died.

The other hive may need a new queen.

   I was happy to see the golden rooster I once painted years ago at the Horse Power Farm.

He was larger and plumper. 

He had many hens.

   Two Mother pigs had litters of piglets.

    Sheep and their lambs were curious.

   Have a nice evening!

  Little red cottage in Bayside, North Port, was

 so cute.

   Sullivan.

   I am resting today.

   I will get back to paint tomorrow!

Have a wonderful night.

"Sullivan's Mill Pond" 4x5 oil on copper sold.  Thanks.

   I painted in Sullivan, Maine yesterday.

   There were dark clouds in the sky but that never scares me!

I found myself saying to myself, "Wait for it...wait for it!"  

Then a wonderful brilliant light appeared under the dark ominous clouds.

I painted this light in quickly to give a little hope to my painting.

   I drove to Pemaquid, Maine today to drop off paintings for the Saltwater Artists Gallery.

I really enjoy participating in this 50 year old gallery near the Pemaquid Lighthouse.

    It was beautiful in Pemaquid.  Pemaquid is in New Harbor or Bristol.

   The fruit trees are in bloom in Maine finally!

I am going to stay closer to my house tomorrow and paint.

I feel like I have driven and painted like mad this week! 

Thank you for your painting purchases.

Luke came to visit this morning.

   Poppy loves Spring.  Good night.

"Spring in Schoodic" 5x4 oil on copper 250$ framed in gold and shipped.

    I spent a few hours this morning teaching a private painting lesson.

Then I painted with Alison in Schoodic at the Raven's Nest.

It was cold and windy so we retreated!

I found my friend Teddi painting at the Schoodic fish shacks.

Then I went off to paint the spruce tree above. 

I love this particular spruce tree.

I will share with you a few more paintings tomorrow!

Have a good night.

   "North Port Cottages" 4x5 oil on copper 250$ framed in gold and shipped.

   Today I painted with Carol, Ed, Peter, and Jeff in North Port, Maine.

There are beautiful tiny 400 square foot cottages lining the ocean.

They once were used by Methodists as retreat cottages.

 Summer residents come to enjoy the cottages for a couple of months.

I admired the golden cottage at the end of North Street.

   "Yellow Wicker" 4x5 oil on copper not finished yet!

   Here is my first painting of the day. 

I admired the yellow wicker settee. 

I asked Carol if I should paint in the giant bumble bees?

She said, "Yes, and don't forget the wings."

We both laughed.

   Peter was painting on the left of North Street while Carol was further down on the right.

I admired The Tower cottage on the right. 

   Cottages are everywhere!

   Instead of large homes I wonder if our future homes might be smaller?

I can see 'His' and 'Her' cottages side by side working well! 

I loved this cottage.

  The dog's Bark Box arrived today.

Monet took all the toys.

He has taken the bowtie off four plush sunflower flowers.

Poppy ate the lung trachea thing.

Lily had a chicken jerk treat. 

Soon Monet will let Poppy and Lily play with the new toys.

He just thinks it is his right to play with the toys first.

Have a good night!

"Sun Dazzled Acadia" 4x5 oil on copper 250$ framed in gold and shipped.

   It was 55 degrees with high winds so I painted inside of my van comfortably!

I admired this view on Park Loop Road towards the end past Otter Cliffs.

I have the comforts of home in my van.

   I painted in Bernard on Mount Desert Island at Tremont Wharf.

I admired the cottage on the left with the mountains in the distance!

I forgot my titanium white oil paint today.

Luckily there is Acadia Workships with Gail Ribas offering a small art supply store.

I purchased a tiny tube of white paint! 

Thank you Gail! 

I tried to paint without white for an hour before I threw in my towel and searched for Gail.

"Cottage In Bass Harbor" 4x5 oil on copper 250$ framed in gold and shipped.

I was practicing painting little seagulls today.

  I was admiring a foot bridge built with small logs along Park Loop Road.

I saw a few deer grazing.

I stood and watched for an hour.

They were not frightened of me.

They sniffed the air.

They were more interested in eating new leaves.

   I wish I had painted this scene.  

I ran out of energy and had to eat a tuna sub sandwich.

   This deer laid down under a white pine.

   The apple trees have leaves but no blossoms yet.

   I loved how Lily wrapped her paw around her Mom's neck. 

Poppy had such a nice look in her eyes.

They really do enjoy Lily especially when she smells good.

   Poppy decided to play the stalking game with Monet.

Monet does not like this game at all.

Poppy attacks him once she stalks him for a while.

This makes Monet nervous. 

He defused this game of Poppy's by scratching himself for a long time.

Poppy lost interest and played with Lily!  Smart!

Have a great night!  What a beautiful day on Mount Desert Island!

"Jamie Wyeth's Home" 4x5 oil on copper 250$ framed in gold and shipped.

    I decided to paint from a beautiful photo taken on Monhegan Island at Lobster Cove.

   Jamie Wyeth, one of my favorite artists in New England, owns this house.

   The time of the year was late Autumn as the grass turned orange from cold nights.

    We were all having a wonderful time in the private doggy park in our backyard.

It was time to go back up to the house.

Lily decided to take a detour over to the neighbors yard.

Poppy decided to follow Lily.

Lily found something horrible to roll her self all over.

Oh it was bad! 

I retrieved Lily and guided her to the back door of the house.

It was then I saw Poppy's eyes watering from the stench Lily had rolled in.

The smell was so bad I left Lily on the back deck for a few moments while I came up with a plan!

I filled up 4 gallon size Diet Mountain Dew bottles with warm soap water.

Then I used the dish washing brush to wash Lily.

Lily didn't mind the bath at all!

I rinsed her off, dried her off, and gave her a hug.

She never does anything naughty.

I think Lily thought it was a great idea at the time.

   The whole experience made me laugh. 

You should have seen Poppy's expression and her eyes watering. 

Very funny.

"Evergreen Point" 5x4 oil on copper.  Sold last night.  Thank you.

"Sea View Cottage" 4x5 oil on copper Sold.  Thank you!

    I had a request to paint a white cottage by the sea. 

This painting and a few other ones will be shipped to Sweden.

I am very grateful for the painting sales.

Monet, Poppy, and Lily were thrilled Robert was off work today.

He took them to the beach in the rain.

He ran around with them in the private doggy park in our yard.

They are snoring now.

I enjoyed Robert's company too.

We walked into town for ice cream.  Have a great night!

"Night Daffodils" 4x5 oil on copper.  This painting was accidentally ruined and no longer exists.

   I selected daffodils growing in my garden, arranged them in a mason jar, and admired them.

I decided I preferred how dramatic my daffodils looked at night sitting in my window.

Daffodils are difficult to paint. 

I felt like I succeeded!

"Cottage By The Sea" 4x5 oil on copper   Sold.  Thanks!

   I love this tiny cottage in Rockport, Maine by the sea.

Hollyhocks were growing high along the cottage. 

The colors were amazing.

This cottage would be nice to visit in the Summer time. 

   The plum trees are blossoming! 

Have a good night.

"Lilac Breeze" 4x5 oil on copper 250$ framed in gold and shipped.

    I believe I saw this lilac bush near the Monhegan Library or in Stonington by the wharf.

It was fun to paint!

   I paid a visit to the green abandoned house in Bucksport.

One January day I painted this house.

    Here is that painting sold long ago.

   I decided to look into the windows of the green house. 

 This is the parlor.

Looks like the couch is lying upside down.

I admired the crown molding.

   What a nice banister for the stairs. 

   I was surprised to find a tricycle in the front room!

   The walls have been torn down in the middle of the house.

   One downstairs bathroom has a claw footed tub but it is buried with other items.

   I was admiring the old tractor when a bird flew out of the tractor.

   On the upper front bumper I saw a nest with tiny blue eyes inside!

Each blue egg was the size of my thumb. 

I saw one robin and several black birds with a red patch on their wing.

I have seen robin's eggs.

Robin's eggs were larger than these blue eggs. 

   Today was Luke's birthday!

He is nine years old.

Ted brought us Amish donuts.

I was having a pumpkin donut when Monet lost his mind, repeatedly jumped on me, until he stole my donut.

My white shirt was ruined with muddy paw prints.

I was covered in mud. 

I should have not eaten the donut infront of Monet.

Monet has a fierce sweet tooth!

I went upstairs and brought out a plate of fresh deviled eggs.

Ted had a couple then divided up the rest of the eggs between each dog.

   Each dog had three deviled eggs each. 

What a fun birthday party.

   Luke was content and took a short nap.

Lily took off with my soda bottle.  She unscrewed the lid and dumped out the soda.

We decided this was Lily's way of telling me not to drink any more soda!

   It was a good day for all.  Happy Birthday Luke!

Good night.

"Still Beautiful" 4x5 oil on copper sold.  Thank you!

"Still Beautiful" 4x5 oil on copper   Sold.  Thanks!

   Today I was teaching a private class in Franklin, Maine. 

   She took me to a wonderful pottery and wool weaving gallery.

The owner, Suzanne, allowed me to see the interior of her home.

Then there were stories told about the elegant abandoned home across the street!

   The home was once occupied by a wonderful elderly couple who held teas.

Once they became too old to care for herself, the Daughter had her Mom placed in a retirement home.

The house was sold to another lady.

This lady left the house for good after living there a few years.

The house was left to decay.

What a shame. 

   The front of the house is still beautiful. 

I think the wood covering the front door made me choose the side view.

I set my student up with my 12x16 open box M easel, five colors of oil paint, and two new sable brushes.

She had never plein aire painted before.

She loved it! 

She loved painting on copper too!

I loved the painting she did.

   Here you can see the stairway up to the second floor. 

There was once lovely burgundy red carpeting.

  The ceiling in the parlor is caving in.  What is that falling down?  A cot?

   Looking into the house from the back door into the kitchen stands a newer 1970's refrigerator.

Plaster and wallpaper are falling down.

  An old stove still remains inside the kitchen.

   This must be the dining room off of the kitchen next to the front parlor. 

My student saw a bird take a mouse out of the attic and fly away.

I saw a bird inside the kitchen.

   We also saw a baby porcupine in a tree today!

   Here is a view from the home's backyard.  There is a nice creek behind the home.

Have a great night!

"Green Cottage In Bass Harbor" 4x5 oil on copper sold.  Thanks.

    Today I played with my golden retrievers for many hours in their new doggy pen!

We have such a great time there with the cool breeze coming off the East Penobscot Channel.

I decided to paint this green cottage and sold it an hour later.

Now I will settle down to do our taxes! 

Have a great night!

"Yummy" 4x5 oil on copper 250$ framed in gold and shipped.

I worked on a goat I met in Bernard on Mount Desert Island yesterday in my studio.

Driving and painting on Mount Desert Island was great fun and exhausting.

I needed a few days to recuperate so painted inside.

  We spent many hours in the backyard yesterday.

   All three dogs play together most of the day.

They have so many different games.

This game is called, "I have a small ball and you can't have it".

They all gang up on Lily who has the small ball.

They take the ball away but then give it back.

   Monet is so happy it is Spring!

   I visited Lake Alamoosook today. 

"Menagerie" 4x5 oil on copper sold.  Thanks.

"Menagerie" 4x5 oil on copper Finished!  Sold.  Thanks.

    I found the most adorable farm today in Bernard on Mount Desert Island.

Pam sells turkey, duck, and chicken eggs.

She has a miniature horse named Star.

There is a wonderful ten year old male goat.

There is a very kind rooster named Rainbow.

There are two turkeys.

I witnessed these two lady turkeys enamored with two small child visitors.

One turkey laid down her wings, a sign of being the most submissive, for the girl.

Both turkeys called very sweet sounds in hopes the children would come closer.

All the animals were raised by Pam's home schooled Daughter.

   Star, the miniature horse, fascinated me.  I drew her and gave it to Pam.

It is very difficult to paint moving animals on location.

If I can draw a sketch of the animal then I can paint it in!

   Star came over to visit me when I first arrived. 

   The turkey came over to visit after I painted the horse. 

   While I painted I took photos of the funny things happening!

   The goat inspected the chicken coop.

A very old blind hen lives inside the coop.

She knows where the food and water is located. 

"Cadillac Mountain View of Lamoine" 4x5 oil on copper 125$ framed in gold and shipped.

I drove up to Cadillac Mountain to paint next.

I admired the clouds over Lamoine. 

   Time to work on a few paintings!  Have a good night.

   Poppy had a wonderful Mother's Day despite Monet stepping on the orange soda.

We were in the van. 

All the dogs were in the front seat.

Poppy had the passenger seat because it was Mother's Day.

Monet was in the middle console when his toenail went into the orange soda can!

Lily was on my lap while I was driving.

I heard this loud phiz.

Orange soda shot out from under Monet on to Lily's face, Poppy's face, Monet's stomach, and my face!

I had to wrestle the orange soda out of the van.

I rolled down the window and tossed the can out the window somewhere in Stockton Springs.

It was a can exploding emergency.

Monet had his eyes closed. 

Lily discovered the soda tasted great.

She was lapping up as much soda as possible.

Poppy didn't seemed to be phased because she was eager to get to the beach!

  Poppy changed her seating arrangement after the explosion.

 They had a great day.

  I picked Robert up from the bus station. 

He is back from vacationing in Scotland! 

We are so glad he is back home!

   Monet and Lily were inspecting Robert luggage for possible doggy presents.

Poppy could not get enough of Robert!

   Poppy was so excited she ran upstairs to me, put her feet on me, grabbed a green ball, and gave it to Robert.

   They ran to our private doggy park in the backyard.

You can see the size of the fenced area from here.

  They went to the beach next! 

What a home welcome!

I baked chicken and sweet potatoes for everyone!

Have a great night.

   I taught a private painting lesson today at Granite Quarry in Sullivan, Maine.

She loved this green chicken coop and so did I!

There were no chickens in the coop yet.

The chickens were at a wintering location.

I painted in the chickens using my chicken painting memory!

"Granite Quarry" 4x5 oil on copper  125$ framed in gold. Shipped.

There are many granite quarry areas.

The sun was under clouds when I was painting the quarry.

   Next we painted her view at Evergreen Point. 

Here is the subject with my plein air equipment and painting.

   I arrived home just in time to take care of my dogs!

   Lily was having a great time with the mirror last night.

Poppy was looking at me, "Hmmm my silly girl!"

Lily tore up a paper towel and looked at herself in the mirror. 

I fed my dogs baked turkey and sweet potato over dog dried food.

Now I will take them to the beach! 

I had such a wonderful time today.

I hope she was inspired.

Thank you.

Good night!

"Flower Power" 4x5 oil on copper.     Sold. Thank you!

    I spent my morning and day painting this small works! 

   I decided to create a pink background. 

   We are all getting exercise by walking up and down a huge hill in our yard to the private dog park!

Monet and Poppy were rolling around in the grass enjoying themselves.

   They race around playing different doggy games.

Monet likes to bite Lily or Poppy's tail and make them stop.

Once he has their tail in his mouth, he rips his head side to side, yanking their tail hard.

He doesn't hurt their tail.

They all get along great.

Poppy and Lily were ganging up on Monet.

   Here is a wonderful view from Moose Point Park.

   I am staying inside today because of rain and cold!  Have a great night!

"Cool Spring Day" 5x4 oil on copper sold.  Thanks.

   I hiked with five plein air artists to Moose Point today. 

85% of all ticks can carry a nasty virus such a Powassan or Lyme Disease.

I took a long hot shower when I returned home!

"Moose Point Park" 4x5 oil on copper   sold.  Thank you!

I decided to sit on a park bench for this painting.

I love the hopeful light in the sky.

  Carol was painting despite a back injury!

   Ed was painting the coastline.  Peter and Olena arrived later.

   Olena was painting the sky and coastline. 

I talked to her for a bit trying to warm up.

She had her dog Sasha with her.

The artists were more quiet than usual.

I think the cold air made painting conditions more difficult.

There was also high winds.

But we got out there and painted!

   At nine o'clock this morning the light was luminous.

Then large clouds rolled in.

   Last night the mirror was a source of great entertainment for us all!

  Monet in the background, Lily and I, and Poppy was under the table watching.

Monet, Lily, and Poppy don't understand the mirror.

They are afraid.

"Sunflower Petals" 4x5 oil on copper.  Sold.  Thanks.

"Things We Do For Love" 4x5 oil on copper.  Sold.  Thanks!

Have a wonderful night.

   I am having fun tonight with Lily and a mirror!

She sees herself in the mirror.

She is growling and barking!

Who is that she says?

https://youtu.be/VEvowo2s6p4   Here is a video of Lily and Mirror.

Now I am waving at her and she sees me.

She has her head down low looking in the mirror.

What a character my Lily girl is tonight!

   Poppy wanted to see what all the excitement was about. 

   Lily is still barking and carrying on looking in the mirror!

Now Monet is sitting there watching Lily.

What is my silly Daughter doing now? 

Louder barks from Lily. 

She is determined to scare off the dog in the mirror. 

I may have to put the mirror up to sleep in peace tonight!

   Monet was peeking at me under the table while I painted.

  Monet climbed into my lap while I painted today!

   Lily was looking at the flowers.

Now I am waving my arms while Lily is looking in the mirror.

She has figured out it is me waving the arms. 

There is hope for her.

Now she is getting closer to the mirror.

Who knows what she will do next!

I really enjoy my dogs.

Have a wonderful night!

   I drove many for many hours today.

I stopped when I saw farm animals!

   Was that a white goat?  Oh my!

   The pig had the cutest ears!

   The donkey let out loud 'Hee Honks'!  

He was trying to protect his animal friends.

I told them in a very soft voice it was ok and they were beautiful.

They came closer to look at me.

I guess they liked my soft voice!

  The white goat came to visit me. 

He was cute! 

What interesting eyes the goat had!

   The pig was the most friendly. 

I wanted to see the pig's eyes. 

I guess he squints.

   What a fine specimen of a white goat! 

   I came home to three golden retrievers who wanted lots of attention!

We were outside in the private dog park in our yard for many hours.

It is so relaxing in the fence area.

Even my dogs are relaxed.

I think they feel safe. 

   Then I spent many hours petting each dog and talking to them.

No time to paint today! 

I am tired.
