Dutch Belted cattle, American Buff geese, Gloucestershire Old Spots pigs – These are all animals that were among the livestock and poultry breeds that served as the backbone of agriculture for generations. Known as traditional, endangered, or heritage breeds, these creatures are now faced with extinction as agriculture favors only a few highly specialized breeds selected for maximum output within controlled environments.
The traditional breeds represent an irreplaceable piece of the American agricultural inheritance and whose advocates diligently work to keep their animals from disappearing. In an effort to help spread the word and promote these endangered breeds, I hope to show how beautiful and unique each breed is with my paintings.
Thanks for coming by to visit! I hope you like what you see.
