I was at my far away home this weekend. The place where I grew up. A quiet farm on the rolling hills of Wisconsin. We picked blackberries, walked in the woods and smelled the scented air. I painted this scene of my farm with a fresh coat of snow several years ago. Now corn towers over our heads and the out buildings are completely covered in vines. It almost seemed like the earth is slowly reclaiming everything in sight. It's a jungle out there.
A stray cat hides in the yard.
Far away and home are the August break themes for yesterday and today. Tomorrow the theme is stillness. Fresh is the theme for www.illustrationfriday.com this week.
P.S. Poppylocke Illustration has a cool giveaway going on. Be sure to pop over.

I just love your drawing! Sounds like a nice place.
I can't express in words how much i live this post. So i'll just leave it there! :)
beautiful painting, hard to imagine corn instead of snow...it is nice to see your second book button...
wish that cat could tell me it's story.
cool stuff,
thank you
Your painting is lovely! I love how the cat is keeping herself warm with her wrapped tail. I like the photo of the kitty, too. I wonder what her story is.
What a cool picture! The calico cat is perfect. :-) And that pretty white one, too! :-)
Love this scene! Kitty looks a bit cold! :)
