Original Old Stone Farmhouse Painting
This is one of my recently finished paintings. A little cottage of stone, set under a early morning sky with an old fence line, and tiny farm scene in the distance. I like adding the tiny background scenes, and other finishing details to my paintings. Except for painting animals, and my commissioned house portraits, I quit working from photographs years ago now for most of my paintings. I find it much more fun to paint from my memories and imagination that way! To see more of my art work, please visit my web site at www.francegallery.net.

Old Farmhouse Painting - By the Three Fence Posts
By the Three Fence Posts
My last post showed this painting on my easel with just a few more things to paint in on it yet to complete it. I added the tiny window panes and a little cloud work and my initials signature on it. This is one of my miniature pieces, measuring 7" wide by 5" tall. This piece is currently available for sale on my web site.

What Painting is on my Easel Today?
I am working on a couple of small paintings right now. This is the painting that is on my easel today. The original knob wore out on the easel years ago, so my husband added an old faucet handle, to use as a knob instead. I like it better anyways! This new piece is of an old farmhouse with a distant barn and shed, on a very small 7 x 5" board. This is near the window that I paint by, with an overcast winter sky outside today. I prefer natural light but on days like this need some backup light also to paint by. A juniper bush outside the window, that I planted years ago (as a very small bush), needs another trim in the spring. I am almost done with this painting as I just have a few things to finish up on it yet. I am starting to think about spring here already, especially with the unusual warm weather here this week.

Completed Old Farmstead Painting
This is the painting that I showed a couple close up views of recently, as I was working on it. I just finished it up earlier today and it is now available for sale on my web site. If you have followed my work you may have guessed, that I like showing smoke coming from old chimneys.
On a Remote Farm
This piece measures 16 x 8" and is done on stretched canvas. The edges are painted to match, so no framing is needed.
