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".

Preparing for Winter

By this time the harvest has been stored away for use during the long winter.  This scene entitled "Preparing for Winter" depicts a family storing vegetables in their cold cellar.  Great memories.  Hope to see you at the Somerset Christmas Craft Fair this weekend just outside Berwick (Saturday and Sunday, 10 - 4)

Grampie Leaving for Work

My grandfather never owned a car.  During the week, he got on his bike and headed for work.  I have good memories of this.  "Grampie Leaving for Work" is 5" x 7".  Hope to see you at the Horton Christmas Craft Fair tomorrow at Horton High in Wolfville.  Doors open at 9:00.

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.

U-Pick Blueberries

If you have done any traveling in the valley over the last few weeks, you would certainly have encountered many of these.  "U-Pick Blueberries" is 9" x 12".  Hope you are enjoying all the fresh fruit and vegetables Nova Scotia has to offer.  On another note, I have just updated my website - www.mnewmanfolkart.com -browse through and enjoy.

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".
