Red Rooster - SOLD

Red Rooster - SOLD

This contemporary oil painting sold over the weekend at the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas. I know that he will enjoy his new home, and I thank the individual who purchased Red Rooster. He is quite a character, and I hope that he will bring alot of joy and conversation to the new owner. I had a great day painting yesterday, in the middle of three paintings.

On the Easel....

I started this painting today...it is a 24" x 24" gallery wrap canvas. I started out with a titan buff background, then loose oil sticks for the image, and gradually painted in with oil paint using a wide brush. I plan on working on the background before I do any more work on the cowboy. I had alot of fun in front of the easel today...I can't wait to go back to the studio tommorrow.

The Inside Track

The Inside Track

Oil on Canvas

24" x 30"

I finished this painting. Normally I paint odd numbers of objects or subject matter in my paintings, but four horses seemed to work for me on this canvas. I did have some horses in the background at one time, but decided to blurr the background completely. Initially I had the starting stalls in the background with roof and sky painted in, but I changed my plans. The horse with the green blinker on the inside track is in the lead. This painting conveys the energy, excitement, and competitiveness of the horse race. This painting will be for sale once it dries and placed up at The Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas. Thanks for viewing this blog. Please contact me if you are interested in this painting that is fresh off the easel!

On the easel.....almost finished!

This painting is on the easel...needs some touches of detail and it will be finished. This painting is going to need a frame...it is on a 24" x 30" canvas. These race horses are in the middle of a tight race. Lots of action, movement and color. After taking a pic of this painting, and posting on the computer I am able to see some "mistakes" or small things that need changing. The background has a problem --- I spent quite a bit of time on it, wanting to making it recede and fuzzy. The jockey's jerseys need some touches of detail, and the horses need some definition on the head. I hope to put this in the upcoming show at Dutch Art Gallery....Who Does She Think She Is?
