Janice’s Stories behind the painting

1. Lamb on Ewe’s back – Spring is my favourite time of year. I love to see the lambs when it is playtime in the evening. Running and chasing each other and climbing onto logs playing ‘King of the Castle’ and even climbing onto mum, to annoy her or to keep their feet nice and toasty.
2. Cows – These black and white girls are future producers of milk used to make the famous Wensleydale Cheese. They reside in the field adjacent to our barn.
3. Mistle Thrush – They are regular visitors to our lovely Pink Pagoda Rowan Tree. As the name implies, the tree has pink berries, which looks like blossom but is the fruit of autumn. The thrushes will only eat the berries when they have turned a whitish pink, so we get to enjoy the rich pink colour before the tree is stripped bare.
4. Barn Owl – These magnificent owls come into our garden searching for voles and mice. Occasionally, one perches on the back of our garden chair only a couple of metres from the window, what a sight! Tawny Owls are seen and heard regularly, and occasionally we see Little Owls in our garden and surrounding fields.
