Garden of Imagination

Garden of Imagination
I am so inspired when I watch other artists reach out of the box creatively and try other forms of art. This is on my easel and the first painting of my series called "Gardens of Imagination". I have really enjoyed learning from intuitive painters such as Flora Bowley and Kim Ellery!

Longhorn Bridal Party

Only in Texas would a new bride pose for wedding photos with a thousand pound longhorn steer.
I saw this picture and knew I had to paint it!
 I named this painting "Texas  Bridal Party".
16 x 20 original oil on canvas

Warming Up!

This Longhorn bull is warming up in the Texas Sun. I used several values of purple for shading and then warmed him up with shades of burnt sienna.
This painting was drawn with charcoal and turpentine to set it and then painted with bright colors in oil.

It is an 8 x 10 on wrapped canvas and available on my gallery page at Daily Paintworks.

Pride of the Herd

There is nothing as stately or majestic as a longhorn bull as he looks over his harem. This picture was drawn out with watercolor pencil and turpentine and then I mixed the colors in oil... 8 x 10 wrapped canvas.

Longhorn Sunset Sillouette

I love sunsets and silhouettes of animals or trees.
This silhouette of this majestic Longhorn shows off his muscular back.
This is an 18 x 24 inch original oil on canvas with deep blues and bright reds and burnt oranges. Perfect for a UT Longhorn fan! $175.00

I am adding some abstract colors to this handsome  figure with brush and palette knife but not too happy with ground colors...

Working on one of my favorite subject matters. Anything with a Texas theme!

Initial painting but decided it needs more detail and colors.

Longhorn Sunset

Most people who think of Texas also think of the Texas Longhorns. Not only is it a symbol of the ranch life of many Texans but also the symbol of the University of Texas. This sunset picture entitled "Longhorn Sunset is  a 16 x 20 original oil on canvas that I used the rusty orange colors of the UT teams to make up the colors of the sky.
