The lead steer is very important to the cowboys in cattle drives. 
He needs to be the type that will not let anyone else get in front of him, 
but also needs to be calm and unafraid. The herd will follow him 
and go places where they may normally not want to go, such as across 
rivers or into pens at the end of the cattle drive. By staying calm, 
the lead steer helps keep the herd from stampeding if they encounter 
something that scares them, like coyotes. One famous lead steer from the 
1800's was named "Old Blue" and he was beloved to his cowboys. His horns
are on display at the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum.
You can read all about Old Blue at this link

Little Harvest Mouse by Anne Zoutsos

Little Harvest Mouse - 7" x 5" oil on hardboard/masonite

This is the second harvest mouse I have painted. They are such sweet little animals and we have a lot which live up on Merrow Downs - an area of grassland very near where I live. For those who might wonder, they only live in the countryside, not houses and I think they are absolutely lovely!

In Deep Thought (Labrador painting) by Anne Zoutsos

In Deep Thought - 7" x 5" oil on hardboard/masonite

Well at last I am starting to recover from a horrible bout of 'flu and would like to thank those who sent good wishes.

Before I get working on commissions again, I thought I'd like to create a painting which would show one of the characteristics of dogs which I value very highly and this is their quality of spirit. I do believe that where dogs have lived in such very close proximity to humans for so very long a time, that they have developed a special quality of soul and are capable of a great depth of emotion which we do not normally associate with any other creatures than humans. I think the expression on this dog demonstrates this well.

Beauty In The Beast - White Lion Original Oil by Anne Zoutsos

Beauty In The Beast - 6" x 6" oil on hardboard/masonite

I fell in love with the photograph on which this painting is based and am very grateful to Sooper-Deviant at deviantART for allowing me to use it as reference for a painting. 

I think in this coming year I will be painting quite a few different subjects, including some little trinkets I own, which are very valuable to me although I believe of little intrinsic value; I'd like to share them though.


Buy this painting on PayPal
Price: £118 GBP plus £7 GBP s/h

It is just off the easel and so still wet and will need several days (or more) to dry before it can be shipped.

Bathing Rainbow Lorikeet gouache painting by Marion Hedger

Bathing Rainbow Lorikeet by Marion Hedger
13x18 cm (5"x7")
Gouache on canvas panel
My art products on Zazzle
Contact me about this or any other painting HERE

Painted as part of the January 'Gouache Corner' challenge on wetcanvas.com. This is my second bird painting and I love the subject. It reminds me of the red Eastern Rosellas we used to get in our garden in Melbourne, Australia. Unfortunately I never took a photo, so have no reminders of them. I cropped this from the original photo which contains 3 green paraqueets all taking a bath. Maybe I shall attempt all three later. This will be varnished to protect the surface and allow it to be framed without glass.

Baby Robin Oil Painting by Mary Hughes



20" x 10" "Maybe Tomorrow"
Available


This little Robin fledgling is taking his first steps out of the nest. He was rescued after a storm that left him wet and on the ground with very few feathers. We found a nest, tied it to a tree and in a short time his mother began feeding him, visiting every 20 minutes or so. He lived the life of an independent youngster with support of his mother for almost a week. Rather than being pushed out of a nest it was his decision. On this particular day he stepped out of the nest, walked a few feet, took a look around, up, down, then turned and walked back to the nest and took a nap. He would brave the new world the next day. It was a unique experience and I wanted to capture it in a painting.
