272 Southern Summer

Carolina Summer, hot, humid, somewhere above the haze is a blue sky and a burning sun. But find a spot in the shade, under a tree or on the porch, maybe a breeze and a glasses of tea. But that's August and it's still only June, so enjoy.

179 Hieland Laddie

The Kyloe or Highland Cattle

What made this painting a challenge and fun was creating the different textures. Long hair on the cow, the horns and the trees and pasture in the distance. I to take a bit more care when painting this size as each brush stroke carries more importance than it does in a larger painting.

I will be teaching a workshop, Painting Small - Big Results on Saturday August 14 at Jerry's Artarama Raleigh store, click here for more

166 Barn in Snow

Barn in Snow
4 x 6 Oil on canvas
$100. shipping included

Maybe I should wait until summer to post this painting. I know even here in North Carolina I have seen enough snow for this year, so I can imagine other parts of the country are ready for this winter to end. At least down here the snow doesn't last, which means a couple of things. The roads will be clear in a day or two, despite the efforts of the highway department. Beautiful sunny days with snow on the ground that are an inspiration to paint are rare. And last, it will soon become more mud. Ready for spring.
Back to the painting. This old tobacco barn with attached shed has been the subject of a number of my paintings. The other day I happened by as the sun broke out with steel blue clouds behind. It cried out to be painted, so I did. Think how refreshing it will be to look at when August rolls around...

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.

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.

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.

120 Three Cows

Another painting from our trip to the Pennsylvania Amish Country. It was early spring, no leaves on the trees yet. Still cool, but sunny. You now. Maybe it's too cold to go outside, sostick your head out the window and enjoy the sun.

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.
