Mooo ments

What a great day ... and time of day. Several of my favorite ART BUDDIES were invited to our good friend's family farm in Columbus, TX last year about this time. Three of us took a short road trip one morning. We found these darling cows... in the best lighting. (Notice the shadows and light.) The cows were very curious about us. Perfect models.

Love them!

Original painting by Karen Rike

Sharon Hodges: "Who's my mama", 12x24

These cows were white, at least in the field near friends John/Mark's farm, but, hey, in my mind they changed....except for the calf, all white and looking for her mama. To purchase these cows, please use the button below. To see more of my paintings, please visit my BLOG. Thanks for viewing my art.

Grandma's scale, 14 x 11

OK, I had the perfect onion, then I blew it. Ahem. I took another run at it, putting the parched skin back in, etc....still not as good as the initial rendering, but improved. Sometimes, it is hard to know when to leave well enough alone....In the words of Kathleen dello Stritto, "Step away from the canvas".

Southwestern Stairs by Kay Wyne

This painting is full of color and texture. I used a palette knife on the stucco walls and stairs. The colors are deep and rich. This painting is a reminder to me how different the architectural elements in New Mexico structures are from those of Dallas. This painting is sold, but if you would like to view any other works of art, please visit my blog: http://kaywyne.blogspot./

Clementine and friends, 8x10

I attended Qiang Huang's still lifes workshop in Granbury, Tx, last weekend. FYI: It took place at the Iron Horse Inn wh/ is a terrific B&B http://www.theironhorseinn.com, charming, great food and hospitality. I can highly recommend not only Qiang's workshops (always informative and well organized) http://qiang-huang.blogspot.com/, but also this lovely B&B. Go there and tell owner Theresa that I sent you! Meanwhile, yes, we did still life painting...simply being still is very challenging for me, and painting small is also very challenging for me...nevertheless, Quiang's work is always exciting, so there must be something to the pursuit of still life, and I will work on it. Of the three paintings done that weekend, this is my favorite. I know the lemon looks large, and it was a large lemon...the 'orange' is a clementine' orange, so they are small by nature, and of course, it was everything I could do to paint the cherries before eating them. Peak season, very good!
