Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

This is Day 12 of the 30 day Challenge. I love western art. It has always been my favorite. This started out as a pencil drawing, then I painted it with gouache. It is 6x6 and available.  suzy_pal2000@yahoo.com

18" x24" Oil on Masonite In the 1800's, a cowboy's bunk was his private corner of the world. The fellow who slept here was the prosperous owner of a rifle, a shotgun,and a brand new hat. This was a "do over" of a painting I'd done about a year before this one. The original was done from a black and white photo. Here I've changed the lighting a great deal from the original, and was surprised how much it actually improved the composition, even though placement of the contents was changed very little.  Go figure.

Boots Oil on 18" x 18" Gallery Wrap Canvas I had a good day at the studio yesterday. I pulled out several paintings that needed to be signed, finished or photographed. I started a new painting (will keep you guessing on that one), and hope to get alot accomplished today. These boots are great looking....I photographed them back in October. I loved the colors and stitching on them. They were new, so they did not have any scuff marks or character marks on them. This painting is ready to hang...no frame needed.
