Drop by the Bucolic Ambition blog to learn more about homesteading, self-sufficiency, small scale farming & animal husbandry!
I'm a wife, a mother, a teacher, a painter. I live out in the country, surrounded by fields and the pseudo-quiet found in the realm of the natural world. As a family we raise our own chickens for meat and eggs, raise goats for milk and meat, and hunt to put wild game in the freezer. I love cooking & baking from scratch. I believe the world we are familiar with is heading for big changes due to peak oil, among other things. And I feel it is a very important for us to live as close as we can to the natural world which sustains us.
In addition to my Bucolic Ambition site I have a site dedicated specifically to goats and their contributions to humankind: The Giving Goat. Visit the site at http://thegivinggoat.com
My artistic obsessions: horses - especially warmbloods, dogs - especially hounds, U.S. history - Antebellum through Edwardian, Mythology - particularly Native American.
I have a gallery of my work at http://www.joycebrandon.com
Current pieces for sale are located at http://joycebrandonarts.etsy.com
Commissions are available for pet portraits.
