210 Happy Corgi

Happy Corgi

4 x 6 Oil on Canvas

SOLD

Another one of my perennial models, Rosie our Corgi. Looking back, I see a lot of Corgi paintings with a pensive or worried expression. Am I anthropomorphizing a bit much? You would think so unless you lived with one of these creatures. Getting back to the painting, I have decided to give you a happy corgi this time.

209 The Girls

The Girls

5 x 7 Oil on Canvas

SOLD

The Girls have modelled for me a number of times, both together and separately. The colors in these paintings have always intrigued me. We ran across them late on a early spring afternoon. Let me say that again. It was early in Spring, late March, early April here in NC and we were driving up in northern Granville County late in the day. So there was a still that clear winter light with a warm orange cast from the setting sun. This creates, especially on their white faces, a warm light against a cool bluish shadows. Just fun to paint if you like to play with color.

208 Bus Stop Bobby

Bus Stop Bobby

4 x 6 Oil on Canvas

SOLD

A dog. A dog on a golf cart. A dog on a golf cart at a horse show. Sound familiar. It seems to be one of the recurring themes running through this project. Bus Stop Bobby was found at a bus stop. He had been tied and left there. He now lives in dog heaven, aka Beaver River Farm.

207 Bird Dog - Art Critic

Bird Dog - Art Critic

4 x 6 Oil on Canvas

$100. shipping included

It was late afternoon on a cold day early in December. I was at a horse show at The Barracks near Charlottesville, VA painting the view looking out towards the Blue Ridge Mountains. For the duration of the two hours I was painting, those three dogs were all over the bed of the truck, hanging out one side, then running over to see what was happening on the other. Yet not once did they try to get out of the truck. They did check the progress of my painting, but didn't give an opinion for good or bad.

206 Roses and Chimneys

Roses and Chimneys

4 x 6 Oil on canvas

$100. shipping included

I am continuing with the theme of warm spring mornings. It is just too cold for North Carolina. This paintings inspiration also goes back to the same painting trip as "Spring Planting" yesterday. The sun and shadows, roof lines and chimneys create a geometric backdrop for the organic forms of flowers and bushes. Fun to paint.

205 Spring Planting

Spring Planting

4 x 6 Oil on Canvas

SOLD

Looking ahead to bright mornings, warm sun on your shoulders, the season of optimism. Rebirth and growth. The promise of springtime. A great subject to paint on a gray winter's day.
On a more mundane note, today we are planting some trees and starting to repair fences. When the old roses bloom in May, we will have a class in the yard painting them.

Here is a photo of "Spring Planting" in a gold leaf "plein air" style frame. These frames really add a certain je ne sais quoi.

204 Charolais

A pig, now a cow. What's next? A chicken or a frog? A horse or a dog or a cat? Nope. I had to do some gold leaf work out of town, so I have had to plan ahead. Back to today's painting. A Charolais. You can find them lying in the shade of huge old oak trees as you drive down through central Florida. Do you fly in and out of Palm Beach International? Then you probably don't see them and will just have to add painting to your collection.....

203 Back with a Pig

What can I say....I had to get a pig painting posted. This one seems a bit more pensive than the other pig paintings.

Thanks to the internet, the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy and listing of local farms selling produce, I found a farm raising Gloucestershire Old Spots less than twenty miles from our home. I thought I would be trekking to Virginia and north to find them, but sometimes if you look in your own backyard.....
