Chicory Skies</p>
<p>&#8220;What Was That?&#8221;</p>
<p>by Deborah Gregg<br />
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 &#8220;short cut&#8221;. 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&#8230;&#8221; Oh really? Well then, Bring it Buster!!&#8221; 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&#8230;.Arrive Alive!. <img src='http://chicoryskies.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> 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.An ACEO ( Art Cards, Editions and Originals ) This piece measures a tiny, 2.5&#8243; tall and 3.5&#8243; wide (image shown is larger than the actual painting).

<p>by Deborah Gregg<br />
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 &#8220;Biggest Pumpkin&#8221; competition at the Harvest Festival. Its serious business at this delicate stage. Eleanor checks its &#8220;life force&#8221; 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. Has a protective finish, signed on front and back.An ACEO ( Art Cards, Editions and Originals ) This piece measures a tiny, 2.5&#8243; tall and 3.5&#8243; wide (image shown is larger than the actual painting). Copyright notice on piece is on digital image only, not on actual painting. I would love to paint this again . Price is 69.50 this includes shipping.</p>

<p>&#8220;Roadside Sunflower Sale!&#8221;</p>
<p>by Deborah Gregg<br />
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. <img src='http://chicoryskies.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> A tiny, primitive style folk art painting, done with acrylics on acid free,140 lb. watercolor paper.

&#8220;Release the captives!&#8230;.or else!!&#8221;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&#8230;she&#8217;s a little powerhouse for good!) But what made them a bit spooked was all those fireflies coming with them! &#8220;Death by Firefly&#8221; 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 &#8230;after a few whacks with a stick. That was a bit much, but Maddy got so worked up she couldn&#8217;t help herself.

The gentle mushrooms, lending their tops for a resting place for the tiny, winged creatures, join them in a cup&#8230;.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!) <img src='http://chicoryskies.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> A tiny, primitive style folk art painting, done with acrylics on acid free,140 lb. watercolor paper.

&#8220;The Pumpkin Heist&#8221; by Deborah Gregg Halloween is just around the corner and the cats really really wanted a pumpkin of their own this year. The patch down the road was full of them. Beautiful big ones too. It didn&#8217;t occur to them that it was the pride and joy of the witch who lives there. They made their plan and sure enough. It could not have been easier! They joyfully marched along with their big orange pumpkin, unaware that the Witch watched the whole thing ( the bright lantern helped, Ha! ). Lucky little group, she loves Halloween and her precious pumpkins, but she also loves cats! This small painting is done with acrylics on 140 lb, acid free watercolor paper with acrylics. it has a protective finish and measures 4&#8243; tall by 6&#8243; long. (It is best matted and framed, not included) The copyright notice is on the digital image only, not on the actual painting.The original was recently sold on Etsy. I would be happy to paint one for you for  $62.00 . This includes  shipping and insurance. Have a Wonderful Day!</p>
