My computer is back--what a learning experience! Anyway, one thing I did notice is how much I got done without being able to be on a computer so much! Hm-m-m-m! Like finishing up this painting for the show in May! I have gotten so used to doing these in the 6"x6" format, that going larger was a challenge! It's hard to remember to use bigger brushes!
Somehow acrylic seems to feel right for expressing the energy, the heat of the day and the intensity of the experience of being at the rodeo. At any rate, it's sure fun for a change! Thanks to you who contacted me about yesterday's post--it's encouraging when a person's trying something different!
It's been a crazy time and I haven't been able to get my little paintings done, so I thought I'd do another drawing. In doing I realized how good it is to do something that feels more spontaneous and loose. I see that the drawings are a necessary practice for me!
I think I was about six when I received a paint-by-number set for Christmas--complete with the old enamel oils and stinky turp! I was hooked and have been painting and drawing ever since. Over the past 30-odd years of being a professional artist, I have primarily worked in relief printmaking, drawing and oil painting with an emphasis on landscape and figurative work.
Unless otherwise stated, my paintings are oils on specially prepared boards and are unframed. Prices are listed with the artwork. I accept PayPal and money orders. You do not need to have a PayPal account to purchase through them. The paintings are well-packaged and can be shipped as soon as they are dry enough to handle, which is usually within a week. Email me if you have any questions.
