Beginning April 17, 2009 I will be back in the Buggy Barn most Fridays working on the farm animal murals. My name is Sue Steiner and I am a local equine and animal artist. I have this wonderful opportunity to do what I love best- paint animals in an authentic Amish Buggy Barn. My job has been to add atmosphere and interest. You’ll find old farm implements, garden tools and other farm related items and a barn full of farm animal murals!   I am inviting input as to what animal needs to go in next. (There are still blank spots– can’t have that!!) There is something in every farmer that knows you MUST fill your barn all the way!
I have a young colt mural I need to put some finishing touches to but after that I am ready to move to another spot. In the Buggy Barn in addition to the young colt we have a flock of  roosting hens, Bess; the family milk cow, a couple buggy horses and the team of Amish work horses Rex and Roy at the hitching post.  So we are fairly heavily slanted in the horse department but want to be an equal opportunity farm so lets hear it from you as to what is your favorite farm animal? You are welcome to comment here. I also will have a suggestion box in the Buggy Barn so if you are in the store please stop in, see the murals and give us your opinion!
Being a farmer/rancher and mural painter myself, I’d like a barn mural of the “mouser” at work. That unike cat that keeps the rodent population at bay. Mind you, those are the only cats I enjoy.
Yes! Every barn needs a good mouser! I will add your vote to the ‘tally’. Thanks for your comment! Stop in and see the murals if you are out this way!
