201 Young Heifer

At a recent show in northern Virginia, a lot of collectors were interested in paintings of Black Angus. Now I understand that there are a lot of Black Angus in that area, but when it comes to painting, the Herefords (white and brown), Belted Galloways (oreo cows) and Highland Cattle (hairy, shaggy with long horns) make the job much easier.

The white face of the young cow below gives an opportunity to play with colors. Warm whites from the sunlight, neutral/grays in the shadows and some blue reflected lights from the sky.

200 Golden

Someone asked, "Do you ever do Goldens?"

The answer is yes.

This painting has already led to a number of commissions of various dogs, all in this close up pose.

199 Belgian Blue Bull

A quick post, this painting was sold before I got it up on the blog, sorry about that. Since the file names for the photos include the number and it was on the website, I am posting this and will move on to the next.....number 200

The rope halter is the "fun to paint" item in the painting...

198 Mountain Barn

Painted outdoors, "on location," looking up "The Hill" to the barns at the Blowing Rock Horse Show on a beautiful summer day in the Blue Ridge Mountains. "The Hill" seems to get steeper every year. I seem to remember going up and down with ease when I first started painting here. Upon a little more reflection, I used a golf cart shuttle quite a bit that first year.

197 Pony Painting

Painting a white horse on a black background was a great experiment with color,you can see a post about an earlier painting on my other blog, that I decided to continue with that series. In this painting I used a photo of a white pony taken outdoors on a normal day. I then played with the contast, creating a a brighter, more direct light and darkening the shadows. Then the colors were intensified and played with. All without using photoshop, just paint and imagination.

196 Red Rooster

The Red Rooster is the first of new chicken paintings. Though small in size, it is a powerful painting, capable of getting your attention from across the room. Perhaps you can put in on a small table top easel next to your alarm clock.

Finding older paintings and posts on a blog can easily become frustrating. In addition to the page with some of the earlier paintings, new posts will have a image and link to earlier work. Today's painting is Jack, a Jack Russell Terrier

George Carlin once noted that dogs have eyebrows we can see the emotions there. These eyebrows just said it all.

195 Black Angus

I am playing "catch up," today. This is the second painting posted today. A while back we visited a couple of my wife's portrait clients. In addition to the dogs that Theresa painted, they have a farm full of Black Angus. Bob drove us around so that I could take photographs. We started with the young bull and then off to the field where the heifers were. Then down the road to a field full of calves and their mothers, more photos. Finally back to the house to the old bull who was reaching retirement age. A few hundred photos to work with - isn't digital grand.

Here is one of the girls from the heifer's field.

Portrait of Betty Young

I thought at first that I might surprise you when you saw the painting after reading the title of this post. But since you met Lulu in the previous post, it looks like my chances of that are way down.

Betty is a member of the Young family along with Lulu. They were both rescue dogs adopted from Danny and Ron's Rescue. Their portraits will be featured on Danny and Ron's Rescue 2011 Calendar along with eleven others. So be on the lookout, the calendars will be coming out in November.

A sneak peek - Lulu Young

Today's painting is a bit different. You may notice that I didn't even number it. It is a portrait of Lulu Young. I created it for Danny and Ron's Rescue 2011 Calendar. The calendar will feature works of twelve artists ( I am making an educated guess ) including my wife M. Theresa Brown, who have created paintings of dogs that have found homes thanks to Danny and Ron.

193 Burro - Henderson

The Henderson in the title of this painting is not Henderson NV, but Henderson NC. You may notice that he is in a green background. He lives in a pasture in the midst of tall pines, not the rocks and sand of the desert. You would only have to take a 20minute drive through the back roads to get from our studio to his farm. Also on the farm are a herd of longhorn cows which has provided models for a number of paintings. They work for white bread. The farm manager told us if we couldn't see the longhorns from the fence to just yell, loud and often and have some white bread ready when the arrived. Just for future reference, one loaf of bread, no matter how big, will not feed a herd of longhorns.

Here is my impressionistic painting of an "Eastern" burro.

192 Cows, FLA

Okay, I am back at it. More paintings to come, they are all lined up and waiting their turn to get online, so...

Let's look at the origin of today's painting. What I want you to do, the next time you are driving through Florida, you really need to get off the interstates. You can go across on I-10 and get on Rt. 301 and head south down the middle of the state. Now please do pay attention to the speed limit signs. You can stop at the Orange Shop in Citra for some fresh squeezed orange juice. As you near Ocala you can still see pastures full of spreading live oak trees (with spanish moss) and white/cream Charolais cows lying in the shade.

191 Middleburg Street Scene

"They're back." I guess you could call it a hiatus or just plain being busy with more than I had planned (that's good) and not keeping up with this blog. But you should know that though I haven't been posting paintings, I have been painting them. If fact, in a few days you should see the beginning of the third one hundred paintings.

Today's painting is a summer afternoon in Middleburg, VA. The lowering sun backlit the awnings, trees and flowers and made the view down the sidewalk glow. If you want to know the actual location, I was painting diagonally across the intersection for the Red Fox Inn.

3 Paintings an interlude from the Devon Horse Show

A beautiful day at the Devon Horse Show. The forecast clouds and thunderstorms did not materialize. I have three paintings on this one post, just because after painting outside at the show all day, this is quicker and I can get on with preparing for tomorrow.

186 Afternoon Swim

This is one of the two paintings I posted on my non-1hundredpaintings blog, because I just couldn't wait to show them. It was a hot day at the horse show in Aiken SC and the two paintings of horses and water just made me feel a bit cooler. The second painting is already sold, you can see it at www.sfilarsky.blogspot.com, but I am working on a second, larger painting of that subject.
