“What Was That?”

by Deborah Gregg
She holds her best friend ( Betty the barn owl ) on one hand, and in the other, a candle, held as high as she can to light the leafy path. They knew they should not have taken this “short cut”. At the moment, everything that goes bump in the night seems to be in these dark woods. Eyes can be felt watching them as they walk slowly along tossing threats like…” Oh really? Well then, Bring it Buster!!” into the deep woods.. They are grateful for each others company and as they come safely out the other side, they vow never to take that path again! Late for the Halloween party or not! Their new motto….Arrive Alive!. A tiny, primitive style folk art painting, done with acrylics on acid free,140 lb. watercolor paper.

“Delicate Operation”

by Deborah Gregg
It immediately showed promise as a tiny green baby and they have been caring for it daily since. Now it truly is on its way to winning the blue ribbon for the flock in the “Biggest Pumpkin” competition at the Harvest Festival. Its serious business at this delicate stage. Eleanor checks its “life force” with her stethoscope, Harold gives it more liquid nutrition, Mable keeps its orange, smooth surface free of dirt, Marvin is settling in for night watchman detail, equipped with a strong cup of coffee, and last but not least, Junior is on the hunt ( using his trusty little red flashlight ) for possible threats by bugs up to no good. An impressive group, Master gardeners all! A tiny, primitive style folk art painting, done with acrylics on acid free,140 lb. watercolor paper.

“Roadside Sunflower Sale!”

by Deborah Gregg
Harold and Eleanor have this shift, the last one for the day. The Sun has set and a sliver of a crescent moon has risen. But they are determined to sell them all before heading in. Eleanor is in charge of the money (has her money bag strapped on) and dealing with the actual customers. Harold being Harold, he has been placed in charge of advertising and promotional tactics, which he is very good at. Sunflowers are a hot item this time of year so of course they did sell them all ! Tomorrow the flock will take shifts and sell again till they have enough for the annual Harvest Party, leaving plenty for the birds over winter. Really, God Bless them, they think of everything.

“Summer Drama”

by Deborah Gregg
“Release the captives!….or else!!”Yes, a summer drama is unfolding as two boys were spotted grabbing fireflies and stuffing them in jars.The girls are not to be messed with, and too bad for you if you make them mad. Especially if you do something as rotten as this. So the chase was on.They would have tried to out run them..and their little dog, ( but no-one outruns Dixie…she’s a little powerhouse for good!) But what made them a bit spooked was all those fireflies coming with them! “Death by Firefly” crossed their little minds and they gave up pronto. The fireflies were released back into the night (to the extreme joy of the firefly community) to find their true loves and grace the summer nights with their beautiful lights. The boys were sent on their way too …after a few whacks with a stick. That was a bit much, but Maddy got so worked up she couldn’t help herself. Girl Power!!

“Morning Tea”

by Deborah Gregg
Ah, morning tea. In a shady nook of the garden, where the cool of the night lingers long into the morning hours, the busy garden fairies take their morning tea break. The gentle mushrooms, lending their tops for a resting place for the tiny, winged creatures, join them in a cup….or two. A needed pick me up for all.. Ice tea and mulberry cakes have replaced high tea in the hot afternoons now, at least until the weather turns cool again.God Bless Gardens.(even when they are hot and so humid!)

Its a thrill to read about Spooks out in the dark. And lighting is not a problem. Friends gather to help as long as you read out loud so everyone can enjoy it. Well maybe the dogs, bravely sticking it out, would enjoy it more inside! A tiny, primitive style folk art painting, done with acrylics on acid free,140 lb. watercolor paper.

A summer day! The windows of the barn are flung wide open to catch those precious summer breezes as the flock works on their patriotic contribution to the nearby towns’ July Fourth celebrations. A new flag! Of course a beer or two helps keep them all cool…root beer that is! Hope everyone’s summer is great so far! Having a bit too much rain here but otherwise alls well!

Yes, they are magic. Each egg is in possession of a small bit of something that only the owners of that egg will realize. Sometimes right away, and others at a time in the future. All when they are most needed. There’s an egg for everyone at the auction. Even the crows are bidding and have already won one! Its a wonderful day with so many good things in store for all. The season of rebirth and hope is very strong. This piece is an Art card (aceo). Done with acrylics on 140 lb watercolor paper with a protective finish. I would be happy to paint one like this one for you. The price, including postage, is $51.00 Have a great day!!

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.. Ha!
