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)

Harvest Time

Roadside stands selling fresh fruits and vegetables are everywhere in the Annapolis Valley at this time of year.  Harvest is in full swing, and everyone is enjoying the fresh produce.  "Harvest Time" is 11" x 14".  Hope to see you at the Farmer's and Trader's Market in Annapolis Royal tomorrow.  It opens at 8 am.

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".

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.

Oxen Hauling Logs
