CURTIS DRAFT HORSES -----C D KENNELS---JAMES O MCINTYRE,PROFESSIONAL ARTIST
 |
 |
Our home is located on a ranch about eighty miles southwest of
Edmonton, Alberta near the village of Winfield. Living in the country
is ideal for us because we have the quiet of the natural
surroundings, but we are still only a short drive, on pavement, to
the city. We have acres of tame grazing land interspersed with pine,
spruce, larch, poplar, birch and willow. The beaver dams, dugouts
and muskegs make the countryside beautiful to behold. Because this
hilly terrain, with its beautiful green pastures, is also home for
wild animals such as deer, elk, moose, coyotes, wolves and lynx it
gives us a "LIVE IN THE WILDERNESS " feeling. It is also a scenic
location to raise our horses and dogs and paint pictures.

Our large barn facility as well as our sheltered treed yard makes a
beautiful spot to raise our companion dogs. The yard is fully fenced
and is two acres of trees, perennials, bushes and flowers--lots of
flowers.

The dogs enjoy running in the yard. I love to work in the yard and
the dogs even help me with the weeding-----sort of. |

This environment also gives Jim some inspiration to continue with his
passion, painting. Jim is a professional artist who works in water
colors and acryllics. He does landscapes, mountains, ocean scenes,
old buildings or anything that he sets his fancy to. He will also
do comissioned work.
The winter scene is a photograph from our front room window. |

This painting done by Jim, is also a scene from our window, but
facing to the west. If you wish to view at any of his art, his web
