Munching Cluster

Some people like cats, some like dogs and still others favor horses. While I also like many furry friends, sheep and lambs seem to pull on my heartstrings the most. I think I'd be scared to own a farm and tend them (!), but I love to look at them grazing in a field with their fluffy wool that catches the light just right. This big mama sheep seemed to catch ALL of the sunlight on this particular day while all the others play supporting roles in the periwinkle and lavender shade.

Update on France trip: There are still a couple of spots open if you or someone you know might like 2 weeks of soaking up the art scene in Paris & Monet's Garden besides painting sunflowers near Toulouse. Check out the details on my website at erindertner.com 

Country Elegance

Back in the saddle so to speak an had a hankering for some red. So, I chose the elegant and grand Victorian landmark that graces highway 128 out in the Anderson Valley. This is the route we most often take to get to 'civilization' and love passing by this fabulous sight in all its pastoral and colorful glory. One day I hope to find out the square footage of this place as in this painting I have only included about half of it! It's near the close of a lovely summer day and now that it's November, sweet memories of summer are lingering just beneath the surface.

Bucolic Rest

24 years ago, my husband and I visited England for our 10th anniversary and we enjoyed the countryside immensely. The photo for this painting was taken someplace in the Cotswolds and every time I come across it, I fall into a dreamlike space just imagining myself walking down this path into the open meadow. It gives my heart rest and this feels good after the flurry of activity these past few days. I stayed strong today when the kids took off, but those tears were about to tumble right out into the atmosphere. Instead I got my tushie to the easel and gave myself something comforting to work on, whew.
