"Pink Roses" -available
oil on canvas - 9"x 12"
Collectible Appletree Hollow Series
This is Flora Millicent Shepard, born and raised in Appletree Hollow.
From the time she was very young she loved flowers and seemed to possess the ultimate "green thumb". She would sneak into Albert Findhome's garden and prune his shrubbery into animal shapes.
It wasn't until she received first prize at the yearly village festival with an extraordinarily large stemmed pink rose, that she was given the title of : "ROSEY FLORA" and became the local floral expert. At the young age of 21 she established the first scientific lab in floral gene splicing that created some of the most amazing species of roses that we have today.

"Mopsy Twins"
oil on canvas - 6"x 8"
Appletree Hollow Series
Millie & Billie Roundbottom: The adopted twins of Fred & Anna Roundbottom.
Millie & Billie's parents had already passed away in a farming accident
when this photo was taken in 1893.
Fred & Anna, prominent residents in the community, were without children
so they were happy to accept the little ones.
They were very good parents who promoted the Santa tradition in their home.
This photo was titled " Millie & Billie waiting for Santa on Christmas Eve".
My question is this: If they are waiting for Santa, why didn't Fred & Anna
tell them that he wouldn't be coming down a chimney with a blazing fire?
THIS IS MY HOLIDAY GREETINGS TO ALL !!!
p.s. but don't have a fire in the fireplace on Christmas Eve!
Read of the discovery of Appletree Hollow.

"Wee Willie Winkie on Xmas Eve"
oil on canvas - 6"x8"
animal art
My version of Wee Willie Winkie with his Teddy on Xmas eve.
Did you know the origin of the Wee Willie Winkie?
The explanation of the words to Wee Willie Winkie was to teach children to associate every day tasks with their own lives. Before the days of the wireless, television and the Internet great reliance was put upon the Town Crier to pass on the latest news and information. 'Wee Willie Winkie' was the children's version of the Town Crier! The author of the poem was William Miller (1810 - 1872) and the first publication date of the words to Wee Willie Winkie was in 1841.
