Bluebonnets Fields in Texas Original Painting

Bluebonnet Fields in Texas is an original acrylic painting on a gallery wrapped 16 x 20 inch canvas.

I completed the painting today and feel great about the outcome.  I could continue to include more components in the painting, but I liked the open distance it projects with no man made objects.  The painting is impressionistic with a lot of depth in the background.  I enjoyed building the cloud movement.  Dashes of light pinks and lavenders were used to build body and interest.  Receding hill tops in the background grow fainter with distance.

I hope you enjoy the bluebonnets.

God Bless You,

Texas Barn, Original Acrylic Painting

24 by 36 inch Acrylic Painting

Sold

There are several paintings I haven't blogged about as they were painted before starting this blog and this painting is one I am very proud of.  It is one of my first large paintings.

I painted the Texas Barn with acrylics on a huge 24 by 36 inch stretched canvas in 2005. The inspiration for the painting came during a vacation trip in the Texas hill country after seeing a few old barns with Texas Flags painted on them.  I wanted to put the composition I had envisioned on a large canvas with a barn as the focal point in remote woods with horses and cows in the scene.  So, from out of my head and some photo references, the composition came together.  The painting is of no particular barn or location. I just wanted to express the remoteness and expanse of the country in Texas, away from the fast pace of urban life and noise.  Some of  my thoughts in doing the work: the bull standing in the shade of the barn checking things out,  the mare looking at you, how many generations worked the ranch, how old is the tractor with stud wheels, the cattle in the background gently grazing, and the sounds of the windmill lifting the gift of water.  I hope you enjoy the painting as much as I did painting it.

God Bless You,

Pierce Church, Original Acrylic Painting

The Pierce Church painting was done in December 2008 and was intended for sale, but has been one of our favorites and so it is hanging in our home.  We now have more favorites than wall space and The Pierce Church is available for $350 plus s/h and tax if applicable.  The Pierce Church is historical as it was built by Shanghi Pierce for his cowboys on one of the largest ranches in Texas.  Some very interesting information about it is available on the internet.  Hope you like the painting.

God Bless You,

Best Friends, A Man and His Dog

I painted this scene a few years ago of a rancher and his dog making the rounds checking on the property located in west Texas. The bluebonnets had just started blooming at the time. The lab has saved master from getting bitten by rattlesnake several times as they are numerous out there.  The original has sold, but prints are available for purchase on Fine Art America.
