Barnyard Dentistry, Update

This is almost finished. I have a little more fine tuning to do on the horse's eye. Work under the ladies arm and a few places here and there to finish. Seems when you think you're done, you scan it again and see more things to fix. It's a process....

In my continuing quest to create more believable people, this one is ok to me. So much better than I would have done a year ago. And this painting tells a story, it isn't just an animal sitting there. So I like that too.

This is close enough to done, I won't post any more updates, but you can know, there's going to be a few more fixes. :)

The Vet Check or Barnyard Dentistry

At 22X28 " this is the biggest painting I've worked on for a while. It's going to be a sienna painting, kind of like the old photos. This is my initial drawing. Just using turp and a paint brush and some burnt sienna paint.

Here it is, almost finished. A little bit of a funny color because I photographed this in the house, late tonight. It's a wonder it turned out as good as it did. Also, it wasn't perpendicular to the camera....You can see black edges around it, and some glare from the dining room lights.

I've worked on it some since this photo was taken...I'll update it tomorrow. There are still a few areas to work on. The shirt of the lady and the horse's ears. Possibly more.

Thanks for stopping by my blog, hope you enjoy the paintings!

Florida Bird

This one is making Robert laugh. We saw these birds in Florida when we were driving semi cross country. I felt like painting something really different tonight, so I went into my Florida photo file.

Birds aren't my forte! But it was fun to try.

Polebridge, Mt Sled Dog

It's been just a year ago, since we went to the sled dog races at Polebridge, Mt. I photographed the dogs, and some of them were so beautiful. This is one I especially liked. It's possible he ran the Ididarod!

Hocks n Knees

I sat down in the dirt, behind my horse, Class and took photos of her while she was eating. That was two years ago! I've been wanting to paint this picture ever since that day, but I was scared to tackle it.

There's more concentration in this painting than you can believe but I think it worked.

Maybe that's because we cut up a huge trailer full of wood today and I'm tired and my judgement is off. :)

I'm hoping when you first look at this, you can't even figure out what it is, then you look closer and you figure it out.

This is acrylic and watercolor, on a gessoed mat board. 8X10" in size.

Thanks for stopping by my blog to see what I've been up to lately. Hope it was worth your time.

Daisys hat, update.

Now it's finished. It didn't scan very well, the colors are much brighter and livelier than they show here. This is 5X7" on gessoed matboard, an acrylic. It will sell for $30.

Daisy's hat.

I'll be working on this a little bit more, but it's basically finished. I put this hat on Daisy one day and she didn't care one bit. She wore it like it was part of her. She's such a funny girl! I'm going to find a sombrero for her this summer...
