Delightful Summer Arrivals...a new donkey and beautiful cows


We awoke on Thursday last week to this adorable sweetheart colt who has already been named Puck! He is an unusual beastie with his white blaze and three white hooves and socks. His mother is Paloma a grey donkey and his father Rupert is a mushroom dun and has the spotty gene with a white blaze himself and dark spots on his muzzle.









Very proud father Rupert and mother Paloma with baby Puck between!


Our new moos...Valencia and Victoria who are exquisite Charolaix cows who we herded with GREAT difficulty from Nieuwedam Farm...





And our proud new Nguni Bull called Ferdinand who came from Fritz over the hill..seen here before he leaves his old family...



 And now with his new moo family on our farm....

The whole happy herd settled in and enjoying their bovine peace!

Mister Finch

I have just found out about this delightful creator Mister Finch. I have never been that big on sewing but seeing these enthralling textural creatures made from scraps of textiles I am hugely inspired! Made me think one day I would like to pick up the needle and thread.

I wish the postal strike would end as I want to order his book online...Living in a Fairy Tale World...

Halloween being just around the corner, here are some Halloween creature features.

Baardskeerdersbos Art Route 2014


October 2014







 



April 2014


For the April Art Route I decided to hang some of my works in the horse ring...landscapes of the surrounding Overberg, horses, chickens, cows and old farm buildings...












And then inside The Stables Studio was filled colour, bright oil paintings, wool paintings and papier mache fish and owls.....
