I have been doing some volunteer work at the Gray Fossil Museum in Gray TN. So I designed some Christmas cards to give out. The Gray fossil site is the world's largest site for finding tapir fossils so it is natural that I would feature the neat extinct species of tapirs.

SOLD: 16"x20" 7/8" gallery wrapped canvas.
Copyrighted 2009. All rights reserved by artist. No unauthorized copying allowed.

This was a fun painting to do. In each of my folk art paintings I try hard to tell a story. In this one I present to you a snowy winter night at our farm. Yes, that really is the front of my farm house. So I guess that is me offering hot cocoa to the youngsters. My husband is coming from the barn carrying pails of milk while being chased by the cats. All the children in the neighborhood are having fun sledding down the hill while the horses look on in amazement. In the distance children are skating on a frozen pond and cows are grazing in a field.
