DAY 10  OF 31 DAY ART CHALLENGE! WILDLIFE SERIES:  MAASAI MARA MATRIACH!! 8.5 X 12"  PASTEL ON CLOTH ORIGINAL  BY BARBARA J MASON FOR THIS PAINTING I GOT THE IDEA TO USE FABRICS THAT I BROUGHT BACK FROM AFRICA. THIS IS ANOTHER NEW ADVENTURE FOR ME. I HAD A GREAT TIME WORKING THE PASTEL PIGMENTS  INTO THE FIBER OF THE CLOTH. TO MY SURPRISE THE AFFECT WAS PLEASING AND DRAMATIC.  I FRAYED THE EDGES OF CLOTH TO GIVE PAINTING A RUSTIC LOOK.  I WILL FLOAT THIS DELICATE PIECE IN A EBONY AFRICAN WOOD FRAME.

Tess and Tucker, Asian Elephants. This mother and her baby son are enjoying a cool drink of water in their newest pond. I hope you can see the genuine love and protection Mom is showing for her little boy. Elephants are so intelligent, and totally devoted to their families and other members of their herd. Painted in oils on a 12" x 12" x 1" stretched gallery wrapped canvas (all sides painted a dark hue), ready to hang in your favorite room, framed or unframed. Happy Mother's Day on Sunday, Tess, and all of you other great Mom's out there! Thanks for reading my blog and viewing my work.

“When the Trumpets Sound”, an original oil painting by Sandra Reeves Cutrer, a Texas artist.       Three young elephants seem to be “sounding their trumpets” while coming in at sundown from a long day hunting for food, learning lessons from their protective parents, and enjoying elephant play; seemingly aware they are living in a beautiful paradise.   Painted on a 10”x 20”x 0.50” wrapped canvas. The sides are painted a dark hue, easy to hang in your favorite room with or without a frame. Thanks for looking!

"Tess" is an Indian elephant at the Houston,TX zoo. I think she enjoyed her picture being taken, or either she was curious as to what a camera was! Either way, she seemed to pose for me. I painted her in a more painterly-abstraction art style, ignoring the hardness of her more truer colors, and giving her a more delicate, softer "girly" look, to match her kind eyes and youthful  spirit. She is painted in oils on an 8"x10" artist board, ready for framing.
