Two Does

"Two Does"

$175

This is a painting of two does I photographed in the wildlife refuge many years ago.  I had painted them years ago and decided to repaint the same scene to see if I my style of painting has changed.  The photo was taken in the campground.  There is a herd of deer that hangs around the campground hoping to be fed.

On a trip through Canyon de Chelley, I took a photo of this Navajo hogan.  I enjoyed painting the big old tree with the canyon colors peeking through the branches.

This old rusty truck is located in Canon City Colorado.  I took a photo of it this summer.  I left out some of the background in the photo--namely a trailer and the surrounding trash.

Light and Shadow

I took a photo of this scene one late afternoon in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge.  I added the deer from another photo.  I loved painting the cool shadows in this one.

Fleeing Elk

We saw a herd of elk one late afternoon in Estes Park, but I didn't have my camera with me.  So Al took some photos with his cell phone.  Even though there wasn't much detail in the pictures, the lighting was really beautiful!  This cow was fleeing from our car.  Estes Park is a great place to take elk photos, as the elk are very plentiful and unafraid of humans.  

"Bison Portrait"

20x16

I didn't really get this close to this bull when I took his picture.  I have a nice long lens on my camera, so I'm able to get good close-up shots and stay alive.  I had painted this bison previously on an 11x14 sized canvas and decided I'd like to try a much larger one.  I enjoyed painting this one!

Riders in the Canyon

This was painted from a photo I took one morning when Al and I took a hike into Canyon de Chelly.  The weather that morning was gorgeous and the lighting was really beautiful.  Just when I was about to take a photo of this scene, a pair of horseback riders rode through.  I couldn't have planned it any better!  Canyon de Chelly is really worth seeing!  It's a painter's paradise!
