LIttle yard bunny, watches me in the garden each day.

Cottontails are interesting little creatures, those who live with us, will sit maybe six feet away from us and watch us carefully as we work around the yard.  They seem to love it when we talk to them.  They're very good listeners!

In the wild, average age for a cottontail is about three years, I'd like to think maybe ours live a bit longer than that. We do help them in winter when the snow is deep and they can't get to the grass.  We have rabbit feeders we put out under our camper.

Hawks and coyotes hunt here, so we do see bits of fur in the yard at times.  It's sad to see but it's also nature's way.  Hawks need to eat too.

Our garden boxes are about 3 feet high, so the rabbits don't get into my produce. :)  Otherwise, I'd be limited on what I harvest!

Hope you enjoyed seeing this little guy.

Calling for Peace, small painting of a white horse.

Calling for peace, in a world where signs of battle are all around...

The thunderbirds are rising, the spirits are dancing...

Sold

I took the plunge and joined the dailypainters on dailypaintworks.com.  I've thought about doing this for years so you could say I didn't do this lightly! Lol.

This was the first painting I posted on their site. I do realize it might not always be this way, but this painting sold the first time it was presented on the site.  So it was reaffirming to join and have this happen.

Check out their site and see what you like there!  There's a painting there for everyone.

Green Llama WIP 2

I had a lot of fun painting this llama. He's so haughty! When we go to do chores for our neighbor, this guy gurgles and hawks up cuds like he's going to spit at us. He hasn't done it yet, thank goodness. We can't be mad at him, as he's guarding four baby goats, and he takes his job very seriously, thank you!

As you know, I started painting him on St Pat's Day, so he had to be kind of green. :)
