I love them too, around them a lot growing up in Rural New England. I am glad they bring stories to your mind and your heart, that means I did my job!Elizabeth St. Hilaire Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785958267715615197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690400023329277323.post-54554018865478397392010-02-11T18:59:07.355-05:002010-02-11T18:59:07.355-05:00Jennifer, if I got it right I know it because you ...Jennifer, if I got it right I know it because you have a lab and you love the work. thanks so much for letting me know that it looks like it is supposed to!Elizabeth St. Hilaire Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785958267715615197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690400023329277323.post-60738653667977824062010-02-11T16:34:02.059-05:002010-02-11T16:34:02.059-05:00Precious, precious dog - The eyes are just amazing...Precious, precious dog - The eyes are just amazing and really look like my guy at home!

I am from rural New England, so I'm familiar with all those animals too. I do love bright colors and high contrast. LOL Bringing your own stories to the art is what makes it special. For some reason folks like those peacocks. it's 3:30 and I've still not been to HD to get my wood, going to have to be a weekend project I guess!Elizabeth St. Hilaire Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785958267715615197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690400023329277323.post-55168930623836480942010-02-11T13:59:23.493-05:002010-02-11T13:59:23.493-05:00You are amazing, my friend.

The dog reminds me of my golden retriever and the cows... my father had a large herd of beef cattle when I was growing up and I always thought their faces were so beautiful. Those naive ladies had no idea they were heading for eventual dinner tables. Now there's a juxtaposition of images for you! Dads cattle were mostly red and white but I think the holsteins are a much better contrast to your bright colors. Now how did I get on that rabbit trail? Perhaps because your images are always stories and they cause us to remember our own stories. No wonder your peacocks sell so well in Florida!Jo Reimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17381636308808299868noreply@blogger.com
