Meet "Miss Pecky". This is one of several of my paintings that have been juried into 'The Peaceable Kingdom: Animals, Real and Imagined' art show at the Bedford Gallery in Walnut Creek, CA. This show is in the San Francisco bay area, if you are in CA. The show will run from March 3 - May 19, 2013. Miss Pecky is one of our pet heritage turkeys that we raised from fertile eggs. We hatched them in an incubator and have kept them as pets since. She is a hen turkey of a type known as the "Mottled Black". Pecky was named because of her habit of pecking at anything shiny or interesting, and has never grown out of this. She is over 5 years old, which is getting up there in turkey years!

Farm Bales & Shed Misty Farmland Scene
Bales by the Old Shed
I kept passing by a field of large straw bales on my way to town this past fall. It was the inspiration for this painting. I added a shed from my imagination with a rooster weather vane on top. I decided on a misty overcast early morning setting for this piece. The painting measures 24" long by 12" tall, done on stretched canvas.
This piece is currently available for sale on my web site.

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.
