Paint a Paint - Horse that is...

Paint horses, another interesting avenue to explore concerning the color of horses - providing an endless variety. To me, Paints or Pintos call to mind "the wild", and they were favorites of the Plains Indians. SOLD

OK, so not the most original title, but oh-well! Lots of  drawing challenges here besides color, edges and the rest, mainly reflections like in the glass, of the glass, of the bottle, in the wine, etc.! Click here to bid.

Winter Color

"Winter Color" 9 x 11.5" Original Pastel

Even without much snow this year, we still have some wonderful scenes around eastern Montana. The landscape here is not grandiose like it is in western Montana or Colorado where I grew up with the Rockies. But it is a rather quiet beauty that really gets under your skin after awhile. This artwork currently available unframed and unmatted. Click here to bid.

6 x 6" Original Oil

Back in the day, I was never attracted to still life, but as I grow older and hopefully wiser, I realize what a tremendous learning opportunity it is to study still life - I just wish I had done this a long time ago. As far as classical steps of art study, I have always valued the importance of drawing, but never saw the value of still life. I thought it would be boring - I love the action of rodeo and horses running after all. HOWEVER, now that I am older and hopefully wiser, I finally realize that still life has less to do with the subject and more to do with the important aspects of a painting, like composition, color, edges, value. I actually have grown to love the genre, I learn so much from each piece -especially the ones I throw out! Click her to bid.

Farm Fresh

"Farm Fresh" 6 x 6 " Oil

These are brown eggs from Rhode Island Red chickens and they are "fresh off the farm". I thought they would make a good subject for a Daily Paintworks challenge - "Paint your breakfast". I have never painted eggs before and they proved more challenging than I thought they would be, still fun though.This is a 6 x 6 " Oil on gallery-wrap canvas. Click here to bid.
