160 Snow Bird

Today we got seven inches of snow and a couple inches of sleet on top.We filled the feeders three times today. Probably put out over 5 lbs of sunflower seeds in the bird feeders. I caught this bird as it sat on a tree outside the kitchen window. Off to the studio (it's twenty five feet from the house) to work on this painting. The colors are a little more subtle, but there are oranges and blues that might not make the transition to the computer screen.

158 Tree Frog Tree

157 Titmouse

With winter being here, titmice, chickadees, juncos, cardinals and even woodpeckers are eating at the bird feeders. Fifty pound bags of sunflower seeds seem to disappear in days. Maybe not days.... The little titmouse goes to the feeder, takes one seed in its beak and flies off to a tree branch were it works on the seed, eats it and flies back. I wonder how it gets enough food. Sort of like eating steamed crabs, go through about a half a dozen and then go get a meal....

152 Farm Pond with Cedars 2

Part 2 of the previous post. Why a diptych (two separate paintings meant to show as one)? I was anxious to start a painting of the farm. I was deeply involved in finishing commissioned painting, so I decided to do a more intimate size painting, but the proportions of the canvas just wouldn't work. I happened to have two canvases on the easel at the time, so, "Why not a diptych?" The two paintings as shown together below.

151 Farm Pond and Cedars I

A farm near Oxford. Rows of cedars along the fence line. Rolling hills. I have driven past this farm for nearly twenty years. The small conical cedars growing along the fence have become large trees. A couple of houses have been added but it remains a gem in the landscape of North Carolina.

150 Lead line

The Blowing Rock Charity Horse asked me to do a painting for the 2010 show poster. I have been looking through photos of the show, gathering references for the work. I came across a photo of this girl and her mom, taken by Cathrin Cammit. It looks like she won the lead line class, that's a blue ribbon in her hand.

149 Halflinger

This painting is on a 6 x 6 canvas. Last month I was commissioned to paint five pony paintings on 6 x 6 canvases. Since I really hadn't worked in a square format before (I like to paint these paintings a standard size that can be easily framed. The five pony paintings were hung as a group unframed.) so I bought a few extra to work with.
My wife had a halflinger named Alf, a few years ago, I thought he was a great horse (he neither kicked or bit me), so I decided paint one. Since he was 14.1 and 1200lbs, I guess this can also be considered a pony painting.

148 Pasture at Dawn

This painting is the second of the "memory" paintings. I am trying to capture the colors and clouds in the morning light. The cloud shapes are constantly changing. It's worse than a seascape, as waves have a regularity to them. Though constantly moving, the waves basic shape stays the same. As the sun rises and sets, the morning and evening light changes color and intensity by the minute. The closer to the horizon, the quicker the change.

The painting was done from some notes and scribbled lines I jotted down as the sun rose. It wasn't until a few days later that I actually painted it. Have you ever found notes that you wrote to yourself, and wondered what in the heck you were trying to say? Well, after a lapse of a couple of days, those color notes and squiggly lines didn't convey all the information that they did when I wrote them.

But it is still early in this project. I will try make up some abbreviations for colors and values, and standardize the lines. One type for hard edges, another for soft edges. And a few other shorthand notes.

Here is the sketch and notes for this painting

147 At the Gate

Last month, I was commissioned to create a painting of a nearby farm. As the seasons had already changed from Autumn to Winter, I had to rely on photographs taken earlier. Among the views of the cabin and barn and ponds were a number of cow and calf photos. So of course, I had to paint the cows. Here is the first.

How to paint

Finishing up those Christmas commissions....here is another video, painting a waterlily.

It is recorded in real time, not high speed "fast painting." Though more has been edited out then left in. Mostly shots of the painting with nothing happening while I mix colors and decide what to paint next. The painting is 3" x 5" Don't turn up the volume, there is no soundtrack.

145 Painted Bunting

I was first introduced to the Bunting family by an Indigo Bunting in the vegetable garden. A iridescent blue, it made the bluebirds and jays look drab. But I never saw the Painted Bunting in North Carolina. A few years back, when we were traveling back and forth to Art Shows in Florida, we happened to be staying in Savannah when the Painted Buntings were migrating through. We left the Isle of Hope to go to Skidaway Nature Center.The Nature Center there was all set up and ready for both the people and the birds, with scopes set up inside to view the feeders behind the Nature Center Building. We got our first sight of the there. Afterward we went hiking through the woods and marshes. We saw a number of the painted buntings, but to be honest, if we hadn't seen them at the feeder, we would never have known what we were looking at in the wild. So here is my Painted Bunting in the pines and oaks of Coastal Georgia in early Spring.

Here is a painting for Christmas and Winter. I am no longer in denial about the season. Here is a cheery painting. The red berries, green leaves and blue sky make it a colorful little gem. Not a lot of snow, just enough to make everything look good.

144 Dawn

This painting began as an exercise. Since all painting is from memory, you are either looking at the canvas or what you are painting. You can get an overall view if you step back a ways and look at the canvas in the landscape, but when it comes to looking at a specific shape or form you can only concentrate on one at a time. I was sitting in the studio yesterday morning as the sun rose. I did a rough sketch and made some color notes, such as "light blue fading to dull orange", while atrying to remember the scene. I painted it this evening, and am happy with it.

142 Bald Rooster

Since I am watching the sunrise as I add the photo of this painting, post it to the blog, email updates to my subscribers, it's only fitting that it is a painting of a rooster. Thankfully, our neighbors have chickens, so we get to enjoy the rooster crowing vicariously. Also the donkey which is about a quarter mile down the road. Of course, Oreo the mama goat's bleating most likely annoys our neighbors enough to make us part of the Great Countryside Morning Symphony.

I am not sure of the breed of this fellow, so I call him the Bald Rooster, his coloring reminds me of a Bald Eagle.

140 Highland Cattle

I have been having a lot of fun painting birds lately. So why not paint a cow again. Just for a day or so. It's getting cold again (at least for here) but not as cold as the highlands of Scotland. To get to the point, Highland Cattle, originally from Scotland have long heavy coats which keep them warm through the wild Highland winters. Pretty wild looking creatures

139 Meadowlark

A beautiful sunny day, hard to believe it's December. But they are callng for a chance of snow on Saturday. Here in NC that means schools will be closed on Friday. Today's painting is another in the bird series, a Western Meadowlark. Another beautiful summer morning.

I am continuing with a series of bird paintings. Today's painting is the American Goldfinch. It's a sure sign of summer when their dull mustard plumage turns bright yellow and they fly across the yard in their distinctive flight , a series of arcs as they flap and rest, flap and rest. If it keeps raining here, we will need a pair of these for the ark.

137 Blue Jay

Here is the second in the series of bird paintings. Or a series of paintings of birds that are blue. I have to admit that I am very pleased with the way this painting turned out. Sometimes when I work at a painting, paying attention to colors, "Is that too warm or too cool," the values, "Should the edge of that shadow be just a bit lighter?" the form, composition and all the other elements, that I am taken by surprise by the finished product. Often the last few touches take the painting from "I'm going to thow this out." to "Wow! Did I just do that?"

136 Belted Gallowy - The Oreo Cow

After what seemed like months of being at indoor shows, I had to go to the mountains. Open views and blue skies. I can go just about anywhere on canvas. I really like the way the light plays on this cow. The work and the reward of these paintings is creating the three dimensional form with a few brushstrokes.

135 Black Rooster

No, this is not the second painting in the "Bird Series." One of the comments I got at the show was "I really like the chickens." So, here's another one and there probably will be more coming.

I do want to thank everyone reading this blog. At the shows I have been pleasantly surprised by people stopping by and telling me that they have been following these paintings. Sitting here alone at the computer (I am totally incapable of writing when there is anything else going on around me), sending these posts out into cyberspace, I sometimes wonder, "Just who is reading them?"

So I am asking for your feedback. Please feel free to comment on these posts. If you now own one of these paintings, you can also share your comments on it.

Another comment that sort of took me by surprise is "So that's what they look like." I guess since I am painting them, photographing them, hanging, framing and displaying them I just assume that everyone has a grasp of what the actual paintings look like. I was about to put up an image of the paintings on display, but I have had to switch computers in the middle of this post as mine has decided that it wants time off. Hopefully in the next day or so I will be able to post that photo.

131 Pond, Willow and White Duck

Ah, the Artist's Life. We have been exhibiting our work at horse shows in the Hunt Horse Complex in Raleigh, NC since the last week of September. Yesterday afternoon our last show ended a bit earlier than expected and I broke down and loaded up our display and paintings last night and was able to enjoy a sunny day at home, mostly sitting on the porch....

Despite the work involved and total upheaval of our work schedule, the shows give us a chance to meet with our collectors and portrait clients, past present and future.

About today's painting. The subject was suggested by one of my collectors who was at one of the shows last month. A pond with a willow tree and a white duck. My first thought was a view of the pond, willow tree at one end, the duck swimming somewhere in the middle. My second idea was this one, the duck under the willow branches. What I really enjoy about doing commissions is that it stretches your creativity muscle. Many artists look at any requirements by a client as somehow impinging on their creativity, when actually the opposite is true. Working within parameters that are not your own force you to use your creativity to its fullest.

131 Sycamore by Paddock at Keeneland

As you might have noticed my paintings are not always about the obvious subject. At the horse shows, I don't paint a beautiful going over a jump, but the view over an old fence to the barns behind the ring.

My trip to Keeneland in Lexington, KY was not during the seasons, but between. There were still horses around, but the atmosphere was quiet. Here is a painting of the old sycamore tree at the paddock in the morning light. In the background are statues of jockeys painted in the colors of the race winners.

130 Pigs - Mother and Child

Everyone loves paintings of mothers and children. Look at Mary Cassatt. She hangs in museums around the world. She just didn't paint pigs. Well, maybe there weren't any British Saddlebacks around for her to paint in Paris.

129 Blowing Rock View down from the Wall

This second painting from my latest trip to Blowing Rock zooms in a bit more on the trees on the ridges of the mountains. The sunlight coming over the mountain catches on spots of gold and orange trees.

I tried taking photos from the car while driving down the Blue Ridge Parkway. Since I was unable to stop at the most interesting spots, I resorted to just pointing the camera in the general direction and pressing the shutter button. I was pleasantly suprised at the results. I was even able to catch a couple of cows in some shots.

126 Blowing Rock View from Wall

I was back in Blowing Rock in the NC mountains this past week. The leaves had turned color, some were gone and the mountains were blue and grey with spots of orange, gold, red and of course, green pines and hemlocks. I set up the easel down the road from the horse show grounds at "The Wall" a popular spot for drinking wine in the summer.

The two paintings I did became almost abstract as focused on painting just a small part of the hillsides.

125 Portrait of Fox Hound

This portrait of a PennMaryDel Foxhound was based on photos I took on my excursion with Mr. Fred as noted in an earlier post. I also traveled with him at the hunt's opening meet. A bit different experience. More photographers than horses it seemed. And as far as listening for the hounds, there were about 80 other people having a good time with us...

122 Waiting

Yes, I have been at horse shows since September. I think it's beginning to affect me. Wednesday I was honored to be allowed to watch and photograph a local hunt. When I arrived I was handed over to Mr. Fred, the retired huntsman. Mr. Fred drove his Mazda pickup down lanes and across fields. Like a fast boat ride across choppy seas. We waited in one spot for a while, then drove back, down the highway, down a county road and up a dead end road to reach the other side of the hill.

Sitting on the side of a country road, looking down a long driveway waiting for the hounds to show. "They will cross about there and then either head away from us or come toward us and turn..." Mr. Fred was sitting in the truck, I got out for a while to take some photos with the long lens. After half and hour, forty five minutes, the people whose home we were parked in front of must have gotten a bit suspicious, because a sheriff's car pulled up behind, lights flashing. Mr. Fred, who happens to be eighty-nine was able to convince the deputy that we were innocent citizens, just waiting for the hounds. While waiting for the hounds, two riders showed up on the road. Whippers-in, they were there to keep the animals off the road. The study below is of one of them. She was actually standing in the road, but I used a bit of that artistic license.

119 Upperville Oak

When it comes to painting at horse shows, (which if you didn't know, I happen to do a lot. Especially old showgrounds with old grandstands and buildings with character. No landscaping, just landscapes.) the Upperville Horse Show is in my top two (depending on the weather). The Upperville Show has been going on since 1853, the oldest horse show in the USA. (They did have to stop for a few years in the 1860's.) The showgrounds and the rings are filled with old oak trees, which makes for easy painting. Just find a spot to set up the easel, look around and paint.

Since the oaks are living trees and some very old, the show does loose them to disease and storms, but they are constantly replanting trees to continue the tradition. Here is a painting of a jump under an oak which is no longer there.

100 Dolphin

I am ending the first 100 paintings and starting the second phase of this now ongoing project with this dolphin painting. The photo was taken from my brother-in-law's 65' research vessel, Weatherbird, as the dolphins played in the boat's wake. My last encounter with dolphins was kayaking with my wife in Jarrett Bay off of Core Sound in NC. The bay averages 1 - 3 feet in depth. We both heard what we thought was the other's labored wheezing, until looking around we were in the midst of 2 dozen dolphins. A totally different experience when you a down at waterlevel and surrounded. We tried to keep up with them but they took off across the bay to the sound.

96 Hay Field

Almost heaven... This field is just south of Culpepper Va near the Commonwealth Show Grounds. I was leaving the show to look at an old church ( future paintings ) I had been told about and this was the view in the rear view mirror. This subject will definitely be developed into a larger painting.

He gets one of us gets up at 6:30 to feed him. After his can of food he chases, runs and goes nuts throughout the house, with the 5 dogs looking on in awe.

94 Red Eyed Tree Frog

Red Eyed Tree Frog. I have completed a number of these 1 Hundred Paintings Project paintings in between these two tree frogs. They are paintings of various dogs. The collector who commissioned them will be giving them as presents so I won't be showing them at the present. I will be posting a small video of me working on this painting in a day or so.

92 German Shorthaired Pointer

German shorthaired Pointer out in the field. This girl is not our Shorthaired Gizmo. But I will tell you about him anyway. Gizmo is another family rescue dog, who was found at the pound. We don't know his early history, but he is deathly afraid of gunshots, fireworks etc. A bit schizo and of a rather sensitive personality, we try not to get him excited. Along with the Rottweiler, he is our guard dog, keeping UPS and mailman from invading our yard.

90 Show Llama

Why do I call this painting "Show Llama"? You see the nice neat mane, flowing off to the right and left? Well, that is not natural. Our llamas would have anything and everything stuck in their manes. If they were out in the woods, it wasn't unusual to find 2-3 foot long tree branch hanging from one's mane.

At a recent horse show, I was discussing llamas with an exhibitor. They had friends whose llamas would spit and butt you with their heads. Ours were nothing like that. Willie and Magic just didn't lower themselves to interact with mere humans. We were welcome to bring them food. In fact the only time one of them tried to spit at me was when I was taking food away. My shop was in one of the areas set aside for them. If I was working outside, they would come up to watch. But only on their terms. The reason for the long neck is so that they could look down on you.

87 Piano Study

Last week we went to the opening reception for the Show your Swine art show. While enjoying the artwork, the wine and food we were fascinated by the piano player who was set up in front of windows with the late afternoon/evening sun coming through. Of course, I had no camera with me nor easel and paints (probably would be frowned upon at the event) or even a sketch book (that would have been fun), so I asked one of the directors of the Art Council if she would take some photos for me. She already had taken some and she took some more. This painting is really a study for a larger work. Should it be called a piano etude?

82 Afternoon Surf

Wow! Over eighty paintings and this is my first seascape. It's not that I don't like to paint seascapes. Some of my first plein air paintings were seascapes and I still love to take the easel to the beach or the salt marsh and try to capture the endless movement of light and water. So here is the afternoon sun picking out the banks of clouds lined up offshore while the waves ceaselessly crash on the shore.

See what you can end up with if you go to the Gala Party at the Blowing Rock Horse Show. "Jack," no name as of now, was one of the items in the Silent Auction at the Horse Show Party. Now we know why they set the auction up next to the bar. I did this painting for Jack's new owners. He now lives with a miniature horse, a pony, a quarter horse, a horse and a Clydesdale.

The heat is here again today. I decided to work in the studio today. This old barn was down the road from us. I don't know if it is still standing as I worked this painting from an old refernce photograph. I wish I could get better color in the digital images of these paintings, but since you have a different monitor, even if I got it perfect here, it would probably look different to you.

59 Laughing Goat

As I get ready for two weeks at the Blowing Rock Charity Horse Show, the very real possibility of coming home to more goats than when I left rears its head. It turns out that one of our new goats, Oreo, was with foal or whatever its called with goats, when we got her. What fun, baby goats, five dogs, a blind pony and a pony that likes to chase goats.

Here's someone whose expression says it all.

58 Blue Eyed Hound

Another painting in the Dog in a Golf Cart at the Horse show Series. I saw this fellow at the horse show in Culpepper VA. His owner told me that he is very popular with the photographers. She rescued him from the pound, though she had no intention of getting a dog until she saw him.

57 Tobacco Barns

The tobacco barn, a rapidly disappearing site from the Carolina landscape. The tobacco leaves were tied in pairs and hung from tobacco sticks in the barn to dry and cure. This type of barn has since been replaced with the bulk barn, which looks like an silver shipping container. And those have been replace with subdivisions. (At least in the Raleigh NC area)

The latest tobacco news. The military wants to ban smoking when in uniform, including on the battlefield. Too dangerous?
