Poem for Grandma Willi

Grandma’s Garden
Vegetable gardens
flower beds galore

Home cooked meals
very few chores
Horses to ride
Rocky Mountains to explore
Freedom to laugh, to run, to grow,
never any beatings to endure
Saddest days at summer’s end
when Grandma’s gardens are no more



By Fawn McNeill Barr
In memory of Willi Bassett (1919-2008)

Polo

"Polo"
8 x 10 inches
Acrylic on canvas
$350.00

This is for a fund raising event coming up. I will probably tweak it a little, but I like the over all effect.

We went to a polo game a few weeks ago, and I have been anxious to paint some of the pictures I took that day.

Winter's Edge, Wildlife Art

Winter's Edge
5 x 7 inches
Acrylic on Canvas
Not Available

I was just playing with these soft colors in the grasses again. Actually it was a cow that I saw, but wanted to paint a deer instead. I painted this from memory.
I love the few months that we get some change of color in the winter. Most things are green most of the year down here. With the drought and a few cold spells the grasses right now are lovely.

The Lion and The Lamb

"The Lion and the Lamb"
SOLD

This is an original oil painting I did years ago. I am posting it because I have prints of this painting available.


Jesus is said to be the Lion of Judah and the Sacrificial Lamb for our sin. This is also symbolic of the peace of heaven when the lion will lay down with the lamb and will not harm it.

Goldfish, abstract, Daily painting

"Goldfish"
9 x 12 inches
Acrylic on hardboard
$475.00
I wanted to get the feeling of looking down in the water and the feeling of looking at the side view through the water at the same time, so you can't tell which view it really is. It was a fun challenge.
This painting is all knife work., which is great for that abstract quality I was after.

Shoreline, 2, plein air painting

" Shoreline 2"
5 x 7 inches
Acrylic on hardboard
SOLD

This is the second painting I did last Friday at the canal at lock G-36. It was windy and the water was difficult to render. I think I got the feel of it though. I really like the cypress trees on the right.
