Greetings ~ We are well into the 5th Minnesota Season, which we call "MUD" !!! Chasing cows and driving tractors in ankle deep (and some times knee deep) mud could almost be sport for survival of the fittest! Whew ~ we are experiencing an early bird spring, and the melting is furious!! We have lost 10 foot high piles of snow in a matter of one week. Lots of fog, and rain have set in these last days with 40 degree temps,... we are anxiously awaiting the sunshine and 50's predicted for this coming week! I now have the "green light = go" to tell you about my current commission. To celebrate their 125th year of publication, Hoard's Dairyman has commissioned me to update their special 'Foster Mothers of the Human Race' painting!!! This will be a highlight of my career for sure.... and I'm very pleased to be working on this project. I am working my way through the challenges of capturing each breed's characteristics, as perfectly as possible. This is testing my ability as an artist, and my knowledge as a dairy farmer!! But, I see it unfolding beautifully, and get more excited each day, as this painting progresses. Wish me luck - and check back in a couple of weeks for an update. To learn more about this exciting project, check it out at bonniesbrushwithhoards.blogspot.com. (Sounds so official - don't you think!!) Be sure to check out this months special ~ and keep our 'I DO' print in mind for all those spring and summer weddings coming up. Mention this blog - and I will personalize the bride and grooms name, as well as their wedding date for FREE!! Offer is good until my next blog posts,... hurry!! Have a wonderful day, put on your galoshes, and don't get stuck in the mud!! Thanks for reading,...
