HappyThanksgiving!
We hope everyone has something positive and heartwarming to feel
thankful about this year! We've all had to make some
adjustments and...oh well, life is still good right? So this year it's
a turkey with the trimmings and my apple and cranberry pie. As a yearly
tribute to my late mother we will also have an oyster casserole. Can't
take the seacoast out of the tradition can we? Having animals changes
things when the weather turns. There is no such thing as glamour or
style with a baseball cap, hooded raincoat and heavy rubber boots when
slogging through rain and mud. Goats do not like the rain. And they
stand huddled, even under the shelter, bleating pitifully at feeding
time as though I can do something about it. The inherant problem with
goats, even little ones, is that they climb. They jump. In fact, since
Taffy and Hershy are now the height of their mother thanks to an Alpine
daddy, they can leap amazing heights (and depths) They will
leap from the round bale (that was a mistake) to the backs of the
ponies who are not amused. I will try to capture that on
video! Looking back at the August newsletter images, I cannot
believe they are the same little goats! |

What’s New in
the Art Studio
Well the one given is that we continue to paint! We stayed close to home through October and November. We are darting down to the Draft Horse Classic, a few hours away from us, right after Thanksgiving and I will try my best not to bring home draft horse...but I really am partial to Belgians! Check our schedule for complete details! Steve’s 100 paintings in a 100 days project continues to roll on.I guess we should rename it 200 paintings huh? Sign up for his special blog and join him on his unique journey of art, discovery and giving! It's been popular and fun. Want to see what's available and what has been sold? Just pop over to the site. Christmas is keeping him busy but there's plenty of time to order something special for yourself or a friend. Theresa's second studio is located at the Cotton Company in downtown historic Wake Forest. It is a good mix of gallery and convenience for our portrait clients. A complete series of our portraits are displayed in the studio and it's open to the public 7 days a week . I don't have to be in the studio for you to view the artwork. The
second Friday of each month is Downtown Wake Forest's Art After Hours.
Come see us and enjoy the art, music and refreshments from 6-9
pm!
For 11 years we have partnered with a Gallery at Crabtree Valley Mall in Raleigh NC . The Village Gallery is in a great central location to meet clients who are coming from the southern regions. Don't be shy in asking us to meet you there rather than drive up to Wake Forest or Franklinton. |

For
those of you who would like Christmas cards for the Holidays of the
artwork we have created for you, let us know who your printer is and we
can send a digital file of the artwork to you or them. We probably don't really need to remind everyone that if a portrait or painting is on your gift list this year, contact us now! |
||
| Christmas Club and
Layaway We never forget that it's our clients who keep us in business! Art IS our business! So when a couple of clients asked us about having a layaway plan in preparation for the Christmas Holidays, we thought it was a great idea! Let us know if your portrait or art painting is something you want for a Holiday gift and if you want to make simple, no interest payments up through the week before Christmas! We certainly accept all the charge cards as well as Paypal and regular checks work too! |

Barn of the Month The unusual round barn are a rarity in the 21st century. Indiana, more specifically, Fulton County, is the round barn captial of the world. These barns are a piece of the historical landscape of the Hoosier state. Round barns are indicative of an agragarian society at the turn of the century. The round barn is a long forgotten ingenuity of a farming society that searched for innovative ways to improve their farming techniques. |
