I started working on this little guy last week while working at Delilah’s, an artist co-op in downtown Front Royal.  I often paint while working there on the weekends.  People seem to enjoy watching a painting come to life.

Lettuce & More

Posted in daily painter, tagged , , , , , , , , on April 13, 2010| 1 Comment »

While I don’t have a new Farm Animal finished for today’s post I do have food that a little farm animal might eat….lettuce!

This is the beginning of a lesson we did in art class a few weeks ago.

It took a couple of weeks of lessons for me to complete this one  because I often start a piece and help others get their painting started and don’t get back to mine.  I did finish it in between other projects though and here is the way it turned out.

Farm Animal Collection

Posted in daily painter, tagged , , , , , on April 12, 2010| 1 Comment »

I was asked what I do with all the paintings I create.  Well, for example, with the Farm Animal series, I let them dry a little and then I frame and hang them up to completely dry.  Next I’ll take them to Delilah’s, my gallery in Front Royal, and exhibit them for sale.  And of course, any of my paintings are available through the blog by just contacting me. 

The Farm Animal grouping is a really cute display….but the animals are so cute, it’s hard to go wrong!

Mean Rooster II is an oil on canvas panel measuring 6″x8″ and is available by contacting me. 

I was asked why the name, “Mean Rooster”.  It’s because this fellow chased his owner around and she had to carry a broom for  protection anytime she was near him.  🙂

Rhett

Rhett  is an oil on canvas panel measuring 6″x8″.  

This is another in my Farm Animal series of paintings based on many photos of Suzanne McMinn’s animals.  You can see them at www.chickensintheroad.com .  This delightful blog of Suzanne’s draws you into her life on her farm in West Virginia where she bakes, cooks, makes candles, gathers eggs, and so many more farm chores.  It’s a very fun read.

And her pictures of the animals are adorable…. 

This is how the painting started.  I usually have a couple of reference photos taped to the easel so I can easily refer to them as I work. 

And this is how it looks completed and framed.
