Artist Profile






FarmWife has recently discovered a painter, a human lady by the name of Alison Fennell, of whose art she is rather enamored. She—FarmWife, that is—usually goes for animal depictions. Whimsical or rare, realistic or impressionistic . . . the style doesn't matter so much to FarmWife as the feeling, the sense of motion and life. These paintings have it, and the icing on the cake is that Alison rather likes to paint minimules. (I wonder, would she ever paint a big one like me??) 

Alison's art is featured on her blog, http://eastwitching.blogspot.com, as well as in her Etsy store, www.eastwitching.etsy.com. Check it out, and while you're there please take note of her commitment to animal welfare issues and organizations. A human after my own heart, I say . . . a heart, I might add, which is both noble and capacious.  

As for me, I rather like food art. Some of my favorite genres include fruit photography and still lifes with root vegetables. A quick glance at the photos at left will help you define my taste. Mouthwatering! 

Ears to you, Fenway

Here are the Cloud Dog's X-Rays

Here, for your edification, are the X-rays of dear Paisley's leg. There is, apparently, no new break (since his Monday siezure) but there is, of course, a great deal of abnormality caused by years of living with a shortened ulna. His pronounced lameness, the vet says, may temporarily improve. Unlike me, Fenway Bartholomule, poor cloud dog can't expect much in the way of a full recovery.   Not having the $$$$ for surgery to fuse the joint, we are working on making some sort of rigid splint to support the limb and prevent further degeneration. That is, the humans (with their space-age material inventions and their opposable thumbs) are working on making a splint; I am working on giving cloud dog brayful looks of support and encouragement every time he totters into the yard to relieve himself. As always, he fears me (me?!) and keeps his distance.  Ears to you,  Fenway

Saddle fitting nightmare

I wonder if they had to pay a saddle fitter to tell them the Schleese didn't fit. FB http://www.besthorsestuff.com/ShowAd/index.php?id=4deed0d102f85 For Sale: 18 inch Schleese Jes Elite dressage saddle with Flair Air panels.  This saddle is in exceptionally good, like-new condition with the exception of needing repairs to the front left air bag.  Our Schleese saddle fitter (at the May 28, 2011 fitting) quoted the repair cost at $75-$150. The tree is currently set to "wide" and can be fully adjusted by a saddle fitter.  See the Schleese website for more details. Asking $1200 OBO, a significantly reduced price compared to the current market value of $2000 for the same saddle in pristine, like-new condition. NOTE:  The "saddle rack" is not for sale.  Heehee! Please contact us for more details, serial numbers, questions, or pictures of the saddle.  This is very nice, quality, comfortable and correct saddle for a fraction of the cost, even after the r...
