It’s October and I am in the beginning stages of the October project – “the country life”.
I took a few minutes today to drive around and get some pictures of farms and animals nearby.
These will serve as inspiration or foundations, for the ink and watercolor paintings I will be doing.
I’m not sure I hit the jackpot yet, but I did run into a farm that had horses, sheep, swans, an old tractor and a red barn, all within view. The lighting wasn’t the best. I think I might have to return there during one of these upcoming mornings. If only I knew the owner, and could just walk around within it…
I also spent some time going thru my previous photos, looking for possible inspiration. There might be a gem or two there….
Speaking of knowing, I’m wondering if anyone lives on a farm, or knows someone who lives on a farm, who wouldn’t mind having a photographer/artist milling about… Let me know if you do.

Fun question: what is your favorite farm animal?
Mine is a cow, but specifically, a holstein cow.
