Here is another painting in the “Farm Animal” series based on the wonderful animals of Suzanne McMinn from Chickens in the Road fame. I love painting these little farm animals. They are just adorable. You can see more here and here.

Of course, one of the favorite galleries I visited at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston recently was the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist.
