Texas Barn

Texas Barn, 24x36 Inches on Canvas

I painted this scene several years ago.  It has a bit of Texas Pride and of course, lots of blue bonnets.  I think I will paint some more flowers this spring.  Ya' think?  Anyway, giclee prints are available.

Blue Bonnet Farm

Blue Bonnet Farm

This is a section of the larger painting I did several years ago Blue Bonnet Farm.  This portion of the painting makes a nice smaller print.  I have giclee prints available.

Blue Bonnets Will Be Here Soon

Portrait of a Blue Bonnet

I am always anxious to see the Blue Bonnets in the spring.  This one was painted last year in oils on a 14 x 18 canvas.  Prints are available.

Lookout, Here I Come! Painting Of A Pelican

Lookout, Here I Come! is an Acrylic 10X20,

Gallery Wrap Canvas W/edges Painted

SOLD

This is a new painting inspired from a day trip Carolyn and I took to Kemah, TX to eat some seafood and take in the scenic views of the coast.  The brown pelicans were the boss of the inlet where the resturants where and we were lucky to catch a shot of this big guy landing.  Also, started the painting of the big buck mentioned in the previous post.

Go Paint,

The Painting of the Lab is Finished

The Hunter Lab, 8x8 Acrylic Painting

I finished the lab from the previous post.  He is a chocolate lab with a shiny coat.  I tried to capture the way his coat shined in the sunlight.  I hope you like the presentation.   I have another canine painting in progress which will be a Christmas present in memory of a little yorkie much missed by his owner.  I will post him when done.

Have a great weekend,

Jimmie

Finished "Little Pug" Painting

"Little Pug", 8x10 acrylic, Sold

jimmie@jimmiesart.com

Finished the "Little Pug" painting today.  The painting is in acrylics on a 8x10 canvas.  The background is the gesso'd canvas for a low intensity white which makes pug stand out very well against it.  I enjoyed painting the wrinkles and folds.  They made some interesting patterns on his face and in the body hair.  Pug is a friendly little dog that lives next door to us. I hope you like "Little Pug" as much as I did painting it.

Great White Egret Painting

Great White Egret, Acrylic, 12 x 18 gallery wrap, edges painted,

jimmie@jimmiesart.com

This is the great white egret I painted earlier this week.  I am proud of this painting as I made the stretcher bars, stretched the canvas on the bars and then painted it alla prima...


My wife took a picture of this guy at the Matagorda Harbour on the inland waterway a couple of months ago.  This painting is so unique in composition in the pose of the egret perched on a log branch above the water.  Look at those toes and length of his legs!  We have been chasing egrets and herons all over the coast for years and were thrilled to get a reference picture this good to paint from.  The weathered logs really added to the scene.  I changed the background to a darker blue to gain more contrast.  I had intended on painting in all the wave action behind the egret as in the photo, but decided it would not add much and probably make the scene look too busy.

The Good Life

Here's the cattle having a Good Life in a field of bluebonnets. This was a fun little painting on a 12 x 16 inch canvas in oil.  I still have two paintings of horses to finish and hope to show you some progress on those soon.

Go Paint,
Jimmie
