Deep in the Heart by Kristine Kainer

Oil

SOLD

The barn and windmill are from my little farm in Schulenburg, Texas.  This kind of minimalist look is a definite departure for me; however, I am pleased with the results.  

The title, "Deep in the Heart" is from the song, "Deep in the Heart of Texas" (duh!):  

The prairie sky is wide and high

Deep in the heart of Texas

I've lived in this state for ten years and still don't know all the words (I am shocked that I haven't been sent packing!), yet that phrase keeps popping into my head whenever I look at this painting.  I guess home IS where the heart is!

"Aermotor Windmill" by Kristine Kainer

Oil on Gallery-Wrapped Canvas

30x30

Available

Welcome to farmlife!  This old Aermotor windmill is located in front of my Schulenburg, Texas farmhouse and was used by my husband's grandparents to pump water from the well beneath it.  We now have an electric well pump; but, the charm of this energy harvester remains.  Perhaps, someday,  it can be placed in service again as one of the work horses of the farm....

"Fried Egg" by Kristine Kainer

Oil on Gallery-Wrapped Canvas

10x10

Fresh eggs from backyard chickens have spoiled me.  Their color, texture, and flavor are incomparable to store-bought cartons of questionable origin and ethics.  In honor of those hardworking hens, I have immortalized  one of their incredible gifts for my breakfast plate.
