"LUNCH TIME"

"LUNCH TIME"
Oil on Canvas
8"x10"
$300
free shipping


A new foal out in the summer pasture...I thought about calling this painting "Meals on Wheels" or would that be " Meals on Legs" There is nothing sweeter than a brand new foal...well, maybe a brand new calf is right up there at the top of the cute list too! Everyone always says that there is nothing like a new puppy; and even though they are very cute, I would have to disagree with that because I don't think I have ever seen anything sweeter than a new foal; they are born with their eyes wide open and looking everywhere at their new world.....the baby horse is struggling to stand up on those long, long legs, falling and trying over and over either until he is successful or exhausted! Everything about a new foal is beautiful....tiny brand new hooves, long eyelashes with eyes that are so bright and have that new life twinkle. Soft muzzle and little tiny whiskers....oh they are just amazing.
I love to paint horses and hope you also enjoy this painting.
Thanks for looking today.

"ABSTRACTED LANDSCAPE IN RED"

"ABSTRACTED LANDSCAPE IN RED"
Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas
8"x8"x1.5"
$200

Sometimes I just have to paint in pure color! Never in pure color straight out of the tube.....always "mixed" so the colors are unique and beautiful! I really like how this painting turned out, it has clean color and edgy brushwork. This painting is on a 1.5 inch thick canvas, gallery wrapped and does not need a frame.
Please contact me if you are interested in this painting or high quality giclee' prints of this painting.

Beautiful Palomino girls just look like they are dancing don't they! I had a time with those crazy horse legs; it's no wonder that the legs are covered with grass or dust in so many horse paintings! The faces have such personality and to me, they look like mother and daughter. Maybe that is because my neighbor has palominos and has a mother and daughter. I do get most of my reference photos for horses from my neighbor; she has a great little "herd" and so many different breeds of horses. I had horses growing up and even took my last horse to college with me. Now though, I'm too busy painting to give even one horse the care and attention it would need; so I just visit my neighbor or my sister to get my horse "fix"

"BLUEBIRD"

"BLUEBIRD"
oil on canvas board
5"x5"
$100.00

I'm not really sure if you would say this is a Western Bluebird or a Rocky Mountain Bluebird. I do know that there is a difference; one is brighter and more colorful I think. We have both kinds here where I live, and my husband has built several bluebird houses and set them out around our property. We love to see them come in the spring, always in pairs and checking out the houses for their summer home. They seem very territorial and protective about those houses! There are usually several tree swallows competing for the same birdhouses and watching them chase each other off can be quite entertaining to watch. I am always hoping the Bluebirds win because the Swallows dive bomb me when I get near their house and scare the begeebers out of me!! Thanks so much for looking today and this would make a great little gift for a Bluebird lover!

"ABSTRACTED LANDSCAPE"




I'm posting "ABSTRACTED LANDSCAPE" again because the last photo was not a very good photo. I think now you can see the colors better...it really is not a washed out painting at all. And I also posted a close up of a small section of the painting so that you can see the colors and the brushwork. I just had fun painting this piece and could just see it in a very contemporary setting. The essence of the work is energetic and fun! It makes me happy to just look at it.
The American Heritage Dictionary defines abstraction as "the act or process of separating the inherent qualities or properties of something from the actual physical object or concept to which they belong." So, I started with an actual photo of a landscape and redesigned it to reflect my personal response to the photo. You can still tell that there is a horizon line and the sky; and those would be the only illusions of reality...

Thanks for looking today.

"ABSTRACTED LANDSCAPE"

"ABSTRACTED LANDSCAPE"


I was painting with my Tuesday group, and was working on this oil painting. Someone asked me "what do you call this style of painting" Well...I had to think about that for a minute and then I blurted out "it's called "ABSTRACTED REALISM" So I thought that made perfect sense...it's abstract, but painted from a realistic photo. You can tell that it's a landscape..trees, river.... And, I like the term, so I think I will keep it! Abstracted Realism, yes! I'll have to look that one up and check to see if there really is something called abstracted realism. My son-in-law loves words and is always making up new words that make perfect sense when you think about it, but usually they are soooo funny. One time he came up with "un-truth-tha-tude" which is a lie of course, and he was telling someone that he wasn't happy with the "untruththatudes" the person was telling him! I guess you had to be there because it was too funny. Everyone in our family still uses the word; having quite a laugh about it every now and then.
So, I'll finish my Abstracted Landscape and take a better picture for you. The colors are toned down but still so rich. I really like the way it is turning out; very quite and peaceful. That is just what I needed to paint right now.
Thanks for looking today.
