Arrival of the Black Buck Antelope!
Black buck antelope are native to India. As the name suggests, the males darken with age and the females remain this lighter brown. We're hoping that these 3 are happy here and enjoy our grasses and browse.
They're already enjoying the field in front of the house, happily eating with our deer. I was looking out at them all together, the deer and the antelope, and it happened. ♪ where the deer and the antelope play♫♪♫, and yes - "Home, Home On the Range" stayed in my head all day!
They were released in the field in front of Lake Jean. They bounded off, bouncing on, then slowed down when they reached the thick brush on the other side of the water.
I'm amazed at how high they bounce, must be springs on those feet!
This is the only photo I have from the game camera. They're eating in the field in front of the house, but my photos from the patio are through the patio fence - not too exciting.

Still no name for New Kittie, but then again, my helpers don't have names either!

Jean what a wonderful post! Loved seeing & reading about your antelope. I found myself continually going back to your Crock & Red Flowers. Your painting is gorgeous!
And"New Kitty" is wonderful addition to your helpers :)
I agree. This is a wonderful post. The antelope are beautiful. Great photography, as usual. You are multi-talented as shows with your painting Crock & Red Flowers. Gorgeous!
I love the flowers! Great post, Jean...
Wow! The antelope are beautiful and so is your new painting!! Thanks for sharing Jean!!
Wow I really just love these colors and the feeling of clean color and fresh air you captured in this painting of Crock and Red Flowers.
Beautiful painting, Jean. Love seeing the antelope. Always such a lovely window into your unique life as an artist. Thanks for sharing!
What a lovely post and great painting.
Just gone through your blog and found your "Crock and Red Flowers - Oil Painting" awesome and economical in cost. Your photographs are stunning.
LOVE your Black Buck Antelope shots, wow! That's some crazy wild game action!
Jean, your painting is terrific; I love the palette and tranquility of the composition. And those antelope photos--wow!
You live in such a wonderful place. I love the softness and gentleness of your painting.
I love your new painting, Jean. Those antelope must keep you well entertained. I think I could sit and watch them all day long. Unfortunately, we don't have antelope in Hawaii.
How about "Woody" ??
"Woody-Cat" instead of Puddy-cat.
Ok Ok pretty lame........
Jean, Very nice painting. Beautiful colors. My son lives in Austin. I've had a great time painting in that area when I've visited. Its beautiful. I've seen plenty of deer, but not the antelope.

I so appreciate blog comments, and want to appologize for being so late at responding. I was out of town all last week at a workshop, with little internet access.
Diane ~ Thank you so much! The antelope have already given us so much joy! We wait to see if they'll come to the feeder. I'm glad you like my painting! New Kitty is making itself useful in the studio.
