January Thaw 02, Dogwood along Fallowfield Road near Richmond ON – 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper. Framed size 27H x 33W inches, white wood frame, crackle finish.
In eastern Ontario, usually about mid-January, snow melts with mild weather for 2 weeks or so. It’s a pleasant break, but winter hits with a vengeance after that and temps don’t warm up again until about mid-March.

Longhorns, Scottsbluff, Nebraska
Monday, September 21st, 2020
Longhorns, Scottsbluff, Nebraska -18H x 24W inches soft pastels on 90 lb watercolor paper.
This is a compilation of scenery by the monument area and cows on a farm that were closer to town. On this hot summer day, the longhorn were bothered by the flies. I sat by the road and watched them for quite a while because the way they sport those horns is fascinating, and the horns-size on the bull seem kind of impossible. Another newborn calf, a white one, was nearby in the long grass.
Post-dated note: Accepted in the J. Mane Gallery’s Fins, Feathers and Fur 2020 exhibition.
