“The Watcher” A survivor, coyote is always watching. Loved and hated by man, he must be clever to find ways to survive in his changing world. Curiosity leads to opportunity. Opportunities he cannot afford to lose. Coyote is more though. He still finds joy in the face of adversity, dancing and singing in the moonlight. If I have an animal totem, it would be the coyote; encountering them at sporad ic points in my life that left me in awe. As a young child, we traveled from Texas to California with a travel trailer one summer, stopping at roadside attractions along the way. I remember being at the edge of the wild desert and feeling eyes on me. I turned to see a coyote. We stood facing each other, but I did not feel threatened. I was mesmerized. I turned back around to show my Dad, but the coyote had vanished leaving a lasting impression that is still vivid in my mind. As a teenager I was driving home late at night and spied a coyote following the railroad tracks in t...

Jousting for Light Still Life Series #3 Painted on Location 8 x 8 Oil on Panel Randall Cogburn Click to Purchase on  eBay Auction Lots of sunlight beaming in through the window today. Painting today a stuffed Elephant. At first I thought I didn't have enough time and it was to late and missed my chance for the day, bummer. I pondered a bit on doing one anyway without the magnificent light show that I've been seeing this month and almost decided to move on and do something else.  Oh wait, what's this, sure enough it showed up with a vengeance. I literally had to set up in under a couple minutes trying to fully think ahead, grabbing my easel, a panel, my tripod for my pochade box setup on my right. Grabbed my scraper since I found out I forgot to scrap the palette, grabbed the brush container, oh paper towels, add more white and blue to the palette, walnut oil set out to make my paint flow like butter, positioned the panel so it was pretty much ne...

4x4 Oil on Gessobord To view my blog click HERE . This is Maggie - the BEST dog in the universe!  She is ready to party with me as today is my birthday.   In keeping with my limited palette, I have to say that I am still having difficulty getting the colors I want.  I could blame it on the cold medicine I'm taking ..... and I think I will!  Maggie has a more burnt sienna coat and much darker.  Sometimes she just blends in with the rug.   This is #10 in the 30/30 challenge.  One-third of the way done!  I'm still having fun with it and still frustrated with it.  It's a mixed bag for sure.  I wanted to get a few paintings ahead, but with this super cold it hasn't happened .... yet.    Have a fantastic, creative, fun week-end!!

CHARLIE BOY watercolor and ink on Arches 140# cp paper 8x8 inches In my wash and line technique, Charlie Boy is my pet portrait showing the character of a fine Boxer who was rescued by  Lone Star Boxer Rescue in Houston , Texas. Charlie's foster mom fell in love with and adopted him 4 years ago. Not too long ago, Charlie was diagnosed with mast cell disease. His mom knows that her time with Charlie will be short and reminds herself daily that the  quality  of time spent with Charlie is more meaningful than their  quantity  of time together. We would all do well to remember that in our relationships with pets AND people. V. Bridges Hoyt
