Seeing Red-Bull

 Close ups



Oil on 7x5 gessoed hardboard.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. The very Valri was the gracious hostess who supplied all the great reference photos

 I decided to do the bull and make him a little more menacing than he appears in the photo. It's always fun to try and paint the temperament of a subject.

This is oil on a 7x5 hardboard. After sketching the bull with a Sharpie, I toned the panel with thinned Alizarin Crimson acrylic.
The high value colors were applied with both a painting knife and loaded brush.

C&C welcome. Thanks for commenting!

Different Strokes-Chicks

 Close ups

Oil on 7x5 gessoed hardboard.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. The very talented Kay was the gracious hostess who supplied all the reference photos.

The one little odd-ball chick caught my attention. Was it proud to stand out...or trying to blend in?? Great interactions between the three.

 The board was lightly toned with alizarin crimson acrylic paint.
The oil paint was applied running the full gamut as far as thickness goes. From ultra thin wash which allows some drawing and toning to show....to laid on thickly via painting knife (on the odd-ball).

C&C welcome. Thanks for checking it out!

I had to try the foal going for the gusto!
Spring is my favorite time of year. All the new life is a gift from God. It adds continuance and meaning.

I first toned the panel with thinned Alizarin Crimson.

Dream Gift-Pony

 Close ups

Oil on 5x7 canvas board.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Maureen was the gracious hostess.

 Had another bout with the back and COPD combo. I must have quit the meds too soon...but I'm back on 'em now and feeling a whole lot better.

This pony made me think of the millions of kids who have wished for a pony for Christmas.

This is oil on a 5x7 canvas panel.

C&C welcome. Thanks for looking!
