Exercising the Oxen

One of my favorite things is to watch a pair of oxen as the trudge along, swaying from side to side.  They make it look like they are in charge, but the teamster needs to remain in control.  This painting entitled "Exercising the Oxen" is 11" x 14".

Cattle Farm in the Valley

This scene is so tranquil that I love to paint it.  I enjoy hard winters with lots of snow, and always delight in seeing cattle grazing outdoors on a cold day.  "Cattle Farm in the Valley" is 9" x 12".  Drop by my website at www.mnewmanfolkart.com and check out some of my new work.

Watching the Oxen

It will soon be time for the local exhibition, and I will have ample opportunity to enjoy multiple teams of oxen.  That's summer for me.  "Watching the Oxen" depicts me as a child.  It is 9" x 12".

Treed by the Bull

I have never been chased by a bull, but I certainly learned a healthy respect for the one in the field by our house.  "Treed by the Bull" is 8" x 16".

Delivering Hay

It won't be long and we will be seeing farmers gathering hay.  I love the smell of freshly cut grass.  Tomorrow is the "third" Farmer's and Trader's Market in Annapolis and I will be there this Saturday.  Drop by my booth and say hello.

Late Summer

Once again the calendar has rolled around and it is time for the first Farmer's and Trader's Market of the season.  This event heralds the beginning of summer for me.  However, I will not be at my stall until June 1.  I will be bringing along several new creations, along with prints and cards.  This painting entitled "Late Summer" is 11" x 14".  Have a great day on Saturday everyone, and see you in two weeks.

June

June is such a pretty month here in Nova Scotia.  If the weather is right, some of the farmers are harvesting their first crop of hay, and the apple blossoms are in full view.  "June" is 11" x 14".  If you would like more details or to purchase this painting click here.

Anticipating summer in the valley, I got lost in this beautiful scene depicting life on an average day in the countryside.  "Delivering Hay" is 6" x 12".
