Lazy Daisy – Cow Painting

My fifteenth painting for advent – 15th December 2013 is another cow painting!

Sometimes I remember to take a camera when I take a walk first thing to record inspirations for paintings. The cows in the field at the edge of the village were having a lazy morning. This one glanced round at me, but all were taking it easy, having a lazy morning… bovine bliss!

“Baxter” …I believe!

My fourteenth painting for advent – 14th December 2013.

This is the same gorgeous puppy that featured in my first painting for advent… I just couldn’t resist painting him again, this time in acrylics.

Met at the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum’s hill climb event in June, I’m pleased to be  painting a fellow motorsport enthusiast

…and since my previous posting I’m reliably informed that he’s called Baxter.

See for yourself how irresistible he is!

Dancer the Donkey Painting

My thirteenth painting for advent – 13th December 2013.

Stopping to change direction whilst vintage rallying, we met this soft nosed donkey and asked her the way. OK so we were a little lost, but she was worth stopping for. We did really well after this deviation and won a placing for our day’s effort. Thanks Dancer!

I’m naming her after one of Santa’s reindeer, as she helped to guide us on our way that day – I hope she’d be honoured.

“Which Chat Bird?”

My eleventh painting for advent – 11th December 2013.

Met this fella down at the shore… he seemed to be paired up with a robin and I assumed that’s what he was till I looked closer

Stonechat or Whinchat though, it’s hard to decide?

“Yawn the Yorkie”? or – Name the doggy

My seventh painting for advent – 7th December 2013.

“Tired Teddie” – “Snoozy Sukie” – “Dilly Daydream”…

Dosing under a chair whilst his/her owner enjoys a coffee – this little cutie caught my attention. A must-paint dog portrait subject.

Now that I’ve captured the wee mite in paint, I’m wondering what to call him or her – can you help?
