Every year the flock takes to the hills to show off their skills on skis. Margaret loves it but finds it most challenging (honestly though so do the others). Imagine everyone’s delight when she comes flying down the hill still upright (soon to be not so upright…) dressed in her snow bunny best! Nothing but love and support in this crowd! :) p.s. That one head first in the snow was quickly rescued as was the one in the tree, both are fine..especially after a few hot toddies in the lodge. No sheep were hurt in the painting of this scene..

“Pushing Through”

“Being quite unskilled at predicting the weather, the flock chose today to pick out their Christmas tree for the barn from the nearby Pine forest. The snow squall hit just as they were entering the south pasture…thankful they could see home and tree in hand, they push through it.The strong winds and stinging snow pellets catch in their thick wool coats, making it tough going. But they all hold on to one another and make it home to happy relieved faces and hot chocolate!! :) A tiny, primitive style folk art painting, done with acrylics on acid free,140 lb. watercolor paper.

It didn’t look that far. They thought they would have plenty of time to walk across the field. And so they went off for that visit at the neighboring farm. But the Blizzard came faster than predicted and caught the little peas out in the open.And so here they are, in peril. A very tough situation indeed. But the end of this story is happy (of course!) The resident mice of the winter fields heard their little pea voices and popped up out of their holes and led them down under the snow, into the warm, cozy, earth caves and there they stayed until the storm was over. Yes they have learned their lesson, especially since the mice went on and on and on about it! Never take chances with the winter weather. :) A tiny, primitive style folk art painting, done with acrylics on acid free,140 lb. watercolor paper. Has a protective finish, signed on front and back.

“A Romeo And A Juliet”

by Deborah Gregg
Back in time when true love was often put aside, two people meet at the edge of the woods.They are so right for each other, but their families would disapprove and keep them apart if they knew. They make plans there in the light of the full moon to elope and come what may, they will be together. P.S. They did indeed follow their hearts and lived happily ever after…and so did their 10 children! :)  This is a tiny aceo, art card. Measuring 2 1/2″  by 3 1/2″. Painted with acrylics on 140 lb  acid free watercolor paper. If you would like one just like it, I can paint you one for $42.00  Have an amazing day!  :)  :)


“A Winter Solstice Intervention”

by Deborah Gregg
The winter has come. The nights are long, the sun weak. But with the winter some find that a darkness of spirit arrives with it, making life ugly and sad. But these souls do not go unnoticed in this ancient community. A call has gone out to intervene. A soft snow falls as they gather together and quietly walk under the light of captured stars, making their way to the cabin at the edge of the deep woods. A force not to be trifled with , they begin to sing. An eerie tune but hauntingly beautiful, it fills the woods with its power. Negative spirits flee, Peace and happiness are restored to every creature, within and without.: ) Remember, the Winter Solstice is a celebration of the return of the Sun. And Its out in force today! :) :)    This is a tiny aceo, art card. Measuring 2 1/2″  by 3 1/2″. Painted with acrylics on 140 lb  acid free watercolor paper.

Progress is being made with decorating the large pine in front when the dachshunds were struck with a powerful surge of Christmas Spirit! Off they go with a couple of strings of lights out onto the hill, kicking and hopping around….so pleased with themselves as usual. Their joy is infectious and the tree will wait. Plus the battery powered lights look really beautiful dancing and tumbling along under the greater lights of the Moon and The Milkyway. These tiny moments make life wonderful. :)     This is a tiny aceo, art card. Measuring 2 1/2″  by 3 1/2″. Painted with acrylics on 140 lb  acid free watercolor paper.

A young couple is just bringing in small load of Christmas trees from the forest (assisted by Betsy the horse and Larry, the dog) just as the Winter night puts on a beautiful light show. The full moon just clears the horizon, shooting stars streak through the heavens, the other stars out in force unaware of how wonderful they are! The snowy landscape glows, the tiny town in the distance, so peaceful, all is well in the world tonight. Happy Holidays! :) This is a Small Painting. Measuring  4″  by  6″.

“The Red Wagon Express”

by Deborah Gregg
“Great Grandma and her best friend, Cora Crow, always come for the holidays. Still living well on her own in a small cabin in the woods, but for a few years now, walking when its cold has been a challenge. So the trusty red wagon has a new function. Transportation from her house to ours! With Thor, our black Lab in charge of security, Claire tucked in the back, Great Grandma in charge of the lantern, David pushing ( also acting as a break) and Cora jabbering away ( she’s a bit excited, pumpkin pie is her favorite and she knows one is always baked just for her!) on her head, we make our way along the dirt path. The wind is still as a soft snow begins to fall. And our world is transformed into a Christmas card. Peace On Earth and Happy Holidays!! :)     This is a tiny aceo, art card. Measuring 2 1/2″  by 3 1/2″. Painted with acrylics on 140 lb  acid free watercolor paper. If you would like one just like it, I can paint you one for $42.00  Have an amazing day!  :)  :)

” Most of the time a misunderstanding is best talked out together, an open mind and a forgiving heart makes for a long and Happy Life!!! And if you have a beautiful setting for these talks like these two do…all the better!”
