The Lone Hiker

"The Lone Hiker"

oil on linen panel

10x20
$165

I have painted this scene twice before--the first time in watercolor and years later in oils in a 12x16 size.  I decided to try it once again in a long format.  I liked this size much better, and the linen canvas was much easier and freer to paint on.  It was painted from a photo I took years ago of my husband hiking in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge.  I am always lingering behind him taking myriads of photos.  He has to be very patient hiking with me.

I finished this painting this afternoon of two Longhorn cows.  I loved painting the brindle cow--she was a challenge.  I took a photo of these two several weeks ago at the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge.  The herd was quite a ways away, but thanks to my trusty camera with its long lens, I was able to get some great photos.

I spent last weekend at the Downtown Edmond art show and sold twelve paintings.  I guess its probably time to raise my prices a bit.  I have kept them low because of the economy; but I am building up a clientel now.

I took a photo of this rabbit years ago near our camper in CORA (Campground of the Rockies) in Colorado.  I've thought about painting it many times and finally decided to try it.

This is a painting of the entrance to a local restaurant here in Altus.  I had painted this scene years ago and decided to paint it again.  The second one was much better than the first.  Its good to know my paintings are improving.  I really enjoy painting flowers and foliage!

Following Mom

The second painting was painted two years ago, and hadn't sold, so I decided to repaint it.  I'm still not exactly thrilled with it, but I think the colors on the mother are better than the original.  And the colors are warmer.

Don't worry, I took this photo from the car with a telephoto lens on the camera.  I am very careful around bison and longhorns.  I enjoyed painting this one. 

Palo Duro Colors

I took a photo of this scene on the edge of our campground in Palo Duro Canyon years ago.  The last rays of the sun were lighting up the canyon walls.  The contrast of the warm and cool colors was fun to paint.  I love to paint the colors found in Palo Duro--so many juicy reds and purples!  I had painted a smaller version of this scene years ago.  I like painting the same scene years later.  It enables me to see the progress I've made as a painter.
