This week my fluffy friends have turned their attention to their diets. A strict five-a-day regime has been adopted in an effort to keep them at their best. By this we mean five acres a day. Keeping the hills and meadows neat and trim takes a lot of effort and they have to munch constantly. I'm hoping this will get me the best presented farm for the third year running. There's no points for long grass, weeds or bunching up of livestock. When the judges arrive the animals need to be spread evenly over the fields.
To make it a bit more attractive to the stock I've introduced some new varieties of grass. This has two benefits- a more varied diet and some more colours in my paintings.
I must go now, before I get sectioned!

The exhibition at Harrison Lord in Brighouse has gone very well. The combination of great presentation and hard work has resulted in healthy sales of original pieces.
I want to thank Steven Lord and his staff for their continued enthusiasm and support.
Following this, the next venue will be Priory Art in Tynemouth, commencing on Saturday 13th April. Jan Tandy will be taking delivery of a range of original pieces over the course of the next few days. In the meantime I need to be busy replacing work that has been purchased by those who have seen the work to date.
It's really exciting that this work and my new 'icons' have proved to be popular with collectors. I cant wait to see what the future holds.
