Valley Elk

This is another painting entry for the Elk Foundation.  It is of a handsome bull elk.  I am so taking by the beauty of the wild and majestic elk.  My studio has a variety of paintings of wild creatures at the moment.  It is like my own private world in nature. Painting wildlife has made for, "A
Painting Day".

Elk

This is a busy time of year for most artists.  We are entering shows and painting for coming shows and submitting portfolios to galleries in hopes of winning the favor of a judge or gallery owner.  The painting today is of an elk for the Elk Foundation.  With each new animal I paint there is a learning curve.  The nuance of the facial features is so different with each animal and the Elk was a mighty big boy to paint.  Please enjoy "A Painting Day".

Texas Lady & A Love Story

I got in the mood to paint a cow after reading a wonderful old fashion love story by Ree Drummond-The Pioneer Woman.  Ree lives on a cattle ranch on the open plains of Oklahoma miles away from the city life she had become accustomed to while growing up and then later when she went off to college on the west coast.  The book is a very uplifting bit of fun and takes  you back to the old movie days when romance was what we all expected and treasured. Click this link to read a review for Black Heels To Tractor Wheels.  Taking a step back to enjoy a bit of romance made for, "A Painting Day".

"Cay" & "Out of the Box" Exhibit

The "Out of the Box" exhibit is a biannual fundraiser for the National Museum of Wildlife Art.  This is my second year to be invited to submit a painted box for the coming event.  You may recognize the painting as Cayenne, one of my small herd of horses, on the box top.  This little painting is 3x9-inches and the larger painting that is in its final stages is 12x40-inches.  The larger painting should be completed shortly.  The "Out of the Box" exhibit dates are June 24 - June 25, 2011 and the reception is June 24th at the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, Wyoming.
