Three eggs for Breakfast
Oil on wood panel
Two beautiful dark brick red French Marans eggs and a little white Icelandic pullet egg. Buy your eggs directly from
a the farm if you can. They’re the freshest, best tasting eggs and the chickens are usually raised more humanely, being
allowed to live freely to express all of their chickenness . 
South Shore Lake Superior, Early Spring Oil on canvas
I love Lake Superior any time of the year. In this painting, the afternoon light brightens
the brown stone along this south shore beach. The air was crisp and moist that day with a few ice remnants remaining on the
beach. If you didn’t look at the leafless trees along the shoreline, you were left with the illusion of a warm summer’s
day. 
South Shore Lake Superior
Oil on Canvas This is one of my favorite beaches on the south shore of Lake Superior. It is very
seldom that I see another person there, a true rarity these days. With a view of a far off Marina and remnants from old glory
days of a Brown Stone quarry it’s the perfect place to sit with your thoughts and listen to the waves crash upon its
sandy shore. 
Icelandic Flock, Winter Rut
Oil on canvas (sold) I observe the growing lambs all summer long, taking notes as to which ones are excelling
in the flock. It is then when I start making my ram and ewe-pairing selections, already planning for next years lamb crop.
November 1st the rams are turned out with their breeding groups, by December’s end all of the ewes will be
bred. When winter finally takes hold, life for us slows down just a bit as new life grows in each of them.

Birchen Marans Rooster - Stinky Delaski
Oil on wood panel
(sold)
Bred and by Marcia Delaski, his name is no
reflection on Marcia, it's just what we called him. A beautiful Marans rooster showing one of the many colour
varieties these amazing birds come in.
Delilah, Restless Oil on canvas (sold) You tell your self
to stay quite and motionless so as to not disturb the ewe. Lambing season is truly my favorite time of year on the farm. It
represents new life and new beginnings and with Icelandic sheep, it is always so exciting to see what colour or pattern the
new lambs will be. This painting captures Delilah just moments before the birth of her two beautiful ewe lambs, Petra and
Peacock. I always feel very fortunate to be able to witness the birth of these beautiful animals. 
Green Sausage Tomato
Oil on wood panel We love heritage tomatoes and all of the unique varieties that are available. We plant
several varieties every year. I’m not typically a still life painter but I just couldn’t resist painting these
beautiful green tomatoes from Seed Savers, juicy, ripe and warmed by the summers sun. 
Black Copper Marans Rooster - La Belle
Oil on wood panel (sold)
Mona, Morning Solitude
Oil on wood panel
(sold)
A ewe will instinctually seek
out a safe and isolated place to give birth. In this painting, Mona has found a small hollow, hidden from the rest of the
flock. Mona gave birth to twins later that morning. 
Approaching Storm on a South Shore Slough
Oil
on wood panel (sold)
Watching an approaching storm over Lake Superior is so exhilarating. They come so fast and furious that it will soon
be sending the water birds, animals and kayakers for cover.
