"Homestand" 

Acrylic on canvas,

I used a photo from Flickr member, Carol Von Canon

for reference. 

I love doing the backgrounds now. 

Once upon a time they were intimidating as it was always a challenge 

to figure out what to do in them. 

Now i see them as a Playground in which we 

can experiment and play with colours.

"Best Friends"

A young lady i used to work with asked me to paint these two,

for one of her relatives for Christmas. 

I had a difficult time with it at first as is often the case with commissions. 

But yesterday it started to take on the life i always look for. 

The results are very pleasing to me. 

I was going to call it "Best Friends Forever" but as you know 

the likelihood of these cuties being around still are slim. 

This is why i like to paint cows. 

They give us so much and are only here for a short while. 

I can honour them in a painting and love doing so.

"Prudence Dear"

Did this a while ago. She's in a gallery in Calgary. 

Trying now to get something going and paint again. The slumps are no fun. 

Yikes! 

I know the best way to deal with it is to just paint. 

My favourite approach is to get out the sketch book and just start drawing. 

It's from the sketch books that the ideas begin to flow. 

The next step is to commit to one or more of these sketches. 

Put them down on canvas or paper. Then paint. 

So far i have about a half dozen drawn and ready to go. 

Just have to grab those brushes! Right?

"Cowperate Ladder"

Some good folks wanted a painting based on the photo shown. 

They said they went out to check on the herd one day and this is what they found. 

Pretty funny to think the cow was wandering around with a ladder stuck on it's head.
