COWBOY CONFERENCE

"Cowboy Conference" oil, 22x20 oil on linen

finished Cowboy painting. You can see signs of the way it morphed from the close up photos. The ghostly cowboy served a purpose at one time, but the composition is much better without him. The linen makes a painting more fun, quicker and the paint quality is jucier.

horse adjustments, people adjustments, blocky paint - having fun stage.

Cowboy Conference - $1100 22x28 framed

a companion to:

Cattle Drive 12x16. these two are going to Thoroughbred Antique Gallery in Lexington Ky, if you're interested - just email me and I'll put you in touch with them.

Mountain Cattle Drive 22x28, in a new home.

I admire your fluidity and simplicity. I have not noticed difference between cotton canvas and linen. What kind of primer/gesso do you use?

Schedule a Workshop for your group

Painting Your Vision Workshop No matter what level is current in your oil painting, its time to step up to the next level. This workshop is designed to add interest in texture and design, emphasize brushwork and edges, and explore new additions to paint techniques. We do this by using traditional methods of direct or alla prima painting, which simply means all we can accomplish in a session using rich paint to make sophisticated edges. We will explore different surfaces that affect the look of an oil painting. And we will use a simple color mixing exercise to give confidence in value and mixing the color you need. Bring your references or use my photos. Demonstrations will give suggestions to add something new to your oil paintings and painting time to bring it all together.
