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.

Video Recap

I will be putting another painting up later tonight. Unfortunately, quite a few of the paintings I am working on are going to be gifts and I can't post them until after Christmas.

In the meantime, here is a short video slide show of some recent paintings.

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.

144 Holly Berry

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.

138 Goldfinch

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.

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.

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.

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.

Painting Sizes

Greetings from the NC State Fair Horse Show. Today showing are Draft Horses and Light Draft horses including Haflingers and Gypsy Vanners.
Since I am now posting different size paintings on this blog, I thought I would show you the difference in the sizes

Here is a comparison of some of the different size paintings that are now on the blog.

The first paintings is 3 x 5, yes the size of an index card. These are truly little gems of the paintings.

The middle size is 4 x 6, the size paintings that have been display in the first one hundred paintings.

The larger size is 5 x 7, while only an inch larger in each direction is nearly fifty percent larger than the 4 x 6

Far Pasture - 3 x 5


Pig in Garden - 4 x 6

Beach Ride - 5 x 7

8 x 10, 9 x 12, 16 x 20 etc are just bigger.
