I painted this peaceful pony for the Daily Paintworks Weekly Challenge.

Sunday's Hope by Janette Slack
Sunday's Hope16" X 20"; Pastel on Board
A little over a year ago, Sunday was rescued from the slaughterhouse, along with her young foal. Upon arriving at Papa's Ranch Equine Rescue, it was discovered that Sunday was not only nursing; she was pregnant with a second foal, and was due to give birth just a few months later!
This beautiful mare, in poor condition when she arrived at the rescue, was eventually separated from her first offspring so that she could carry her fetus to term. We worried about her condition throughout the cold winter months, but with a little TLC and good nutrition, she pulled through.
On a warm spring night in April 2010, Sunday gave birth to a lovely foal, named Bonnie Lou. Bonnie has since grown into a healthy, affectionate, and happy horse. Mother and daughter will continue to live the good life at Papa's Ranch.

Wild Cubs
Acrylic on canvas, 16" x 12"
The tiger is one of the largest and awesome predators in the wild world. Although critically endangered, tigers still prowl the border of India and Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, Cambodia, Myanmar, Nepal and the Russian Far East. India is home to the largest tiger population.
These are the Royal Bengal tiger cubs. They are found in Sundarban in Bengal, India. The underside of the Bengal tiger is clean white. The stripes are like fingerprints- no two patterns are alike.

The Entertainer by Janette Slack
The Entertainer
16" X 20"; Watercolor
Often throughout the year, my husband and I treat ourselves to breakfast at Pineridge Hollow, located near Birds Hill Park, Manitoba. One morning, the restaurant was booked up, and we had to wait outside in the garden along with a large group of other guests. Moments later, a bird began to sing, regaling us with his wonderful, sweet voice.
At first, we were unable to find where this beautiful music was coming from, though we knew the wren was somewhere close-by. And then we found him, perched on a lattice and hidden by blooms - he was only an arms-length away!
The wren continued to sing, undaunted by our close proximity. In a nearby garden, a wedding was underway, and as the bride arrived by the groom's side, the little songbird warbled louder than ever!
Eventually, we sat down to breakfast on the patio, and were treated to the wren's lovely song all throughout the meal.

'Summer Eve Hayfields'
These hayfields have become a favourite
painting subject of mine and I look forward to
visiting them often. They are as they
have been for many years and rely only on the
rain and natural nutrients in the soil
to produce this the most basic of
livestock food.
Talk about organic...

Cozied Up by Janette Slack
Cozied Up
16" X 20"; Watercolor
Three months after our niece's first child was born, we acquired a three-week old foster kitten. We fell head over heels for this little tyke, and just didn't have the heart to let him go. After losing our previous cat, Peach, to cancer, we soon found that Spud Murphy III filled a deep void in our animal-deprived household. It was a time for new beginnings for all of us!

This is a sketch I did on our wondrous trip to Antartica several years ago. These charming creatures will lose their home and die if we don't do something about global warming.
