I paint when I have enough time, energy and resources aligned to do so. I am in nature when I don’t.
Participated in a Quick Paint plein air event at a local Arboretum and Botanical Garden yesterday. Completed and Framed in 3 hours.

We lost Flynn tonight.

There have been complications. My dog is in some deep woods tonight.

Gonna be a long night. Flynn had major surgery today to remove a large tumor near the base of his tail… it was starting to interfere with his pooper. He’s in a crate recovering. So I’m sleeping on the floor next to him tonight.

Love this dog.

Also… my corn is knee high by the 4th of July. And only because we’ve managed to keep the deer out of it with a load of tripping hazards.

This black version of the Blue Laced Red Wyandotte is Boomer.

Yes, they’re all named after Battlestar Galactica characters.

Each time I brood up a batch, they get named for characters in a sci fi series.

They are the chicks of sci fi. Because we’re nerds, ok?

Athena is the blue version of a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte. So fluffy!

This is the Splash Blue Laced Red Wyandotte. Her name is Caprica.

Dualla is an Olive Egger. Can’t wait to see what she looks like all grown up.

This is Cally. She’s a Speckled Sussex.

This is Starbuck… she’s a Brown Leghorn. She’ll lay a lot of white eggs. I had a Brown Leghorn in the first batch of chicks we got… Her name was Zoe, and she was a really neat chicken.

I got 6 new baby chickens to add to my flock…

I just order 6 new baby chicks to renew my aging flock. Three Blue laced Red Wyandottes, a Brown Leghorn, a Speckled Sussex, and an Olive Egger (which may or may not look like the one in the pic).

Burned off the weeds, removed the old weed barrier, tilled everything, regraded, sowed up a big block of sweetcorn.

Hung some solar lights, picked up a half ton of English Garden Pavers, put in a nice little mud free floor in the hoop house.

Doing a few days of Plein Air. I have never painted en plein air before (Shocking, I know) and I haven’t painted with oils in… decades… Here’s the first one.
