In April Tim and I went to Ireland to the small village on the ring of Kerry where my husband's family from both side of his grandparents come from ,the landscape is spectacular and breathtaking at times with rolling hills and mountains full of sheep grazing the luscious grass, I am talking thousands of them, I don't know how many times I stopped to take photos of them ,being  Spring they was a lot of Spring lambs running around, so cute! I wanted to take one home.
If you love sheep and collect them this is your chance email me nlcasey@charter.net

I had to make some descisions,what animal was #3,also made a list making sure I can make my challenge a reality and yes I will have 75 creatures that touched my life .
I am in Maine right now and what better place to paint Clancy on the rocks on the edge of the pond , his favorite place to be. Clancy is Irish wheatten Terrier about a year old when i took this photo, he is not a water dog and does not like to get his paws wet, that is why he likes the rocks and stands on it like a king! Clancy is a very energenic dog  that runs and jumps in the woods, no other dog can catch him.Clancy is my shaddow and follows me everywhere, If you have a wheatten you will know what I am saying, A real love bug!
This painting was fun to do this morning from my deck overlooking the pond ,Clancy by my side.
remember it will be available to anyone who wants to buy it ,11x14 mated ,certificate and greeting cards,$75.00 email me for details  nlcasey@charter.net

I decided to start a challenge for myself and create paintings of creatures who have touch my life in many ways .
75 paintings $75.00 each and this is #1
This was my rooster George, he came into my life one day when I went to the farmer's market in Pepperell, George had been a science project for the school but he was a big boy and the teacher decided he needed a home , I had just lost my previous rooster Pierre and my girls needed a gardian ,well they didn't think so!  the two hens I had did not give him the best welcome to the coop.
they later regretted their hostile actions, he did indeed rule the roost but also took good care of them.

Each painting will be mated  with a certificate of authanticity and a 2 greeting cards.
