I am very excited to be starting a painting for the Poncia family of Stemple Creek Ranch in Tomales. Lisa Poncia found me on Twitter, and
the Marin group of Twitter folks I chat with have been enjoying Lisa's
wonderful photos and blog posts about West Marin and their sustainable
farms and animals.
I saw a baby cow bundle in the grass, which Loren went out to inspect and then the mommy headed off with the little guy. Amazingly, a little cow can walk on it's own almost immediately. This one was only 10 hours old old, Loren said, and part of the afterbirth was still visible on the mommy cow's hind quarters.
Another young calf also had a white face. I love the character they each have; it's remarkable.
My son, Blake, loved the lamb with the black spot and the brown legs. We were calling him "Brownie Chip".
The new guard-dog really loves Loren.
