Inspiration on the Farm

It is said that artists get their inspiration from what is around them. To be able to see the world thru an artist's eyes is one of my greatest pleasures. Since I live on a small hobby farm in a small rural community I gather my inspiration from the farm fields, the animals, the changing of the seasons.

Yesterday I took a walk and saw my Amish neighbor's family milk cow resting comfortably in a patch of shade. I scolded my dogs for trying to rouse her but she wisely turned them a blind eye. She knew she had a good spot!

I've painted many farm animals over the last few years. I will share a few with you here today. I would not be surprised if my neighbor's cow becomes a painting in the future- minus flies since I can have artistic license!

I will have some farm animal art for sale at Lehman's Local Artisan Festival Sat. July 11th. Stay tuned for more details or you are welcome to e-mail me at artbysue@hotmail.com or visit my web site at http://www.suesteiner.com/ to see photos from last years event.

Thanks for stopping by!
