I am finally back to painting after a long hiatus.  I attended an art show in Medicine Park, Oklahoma, then we took two different trips.  After that Al and I renovated my art studio, and last week I taught a class on oil painting.  But now I am finally back in my studio painting again.  These two donkeys are in a pasture near our housing development.  They were fun to paint!  

Pat's Cows

I painted this from a photo of a friend's cows in the pasture on her farm near Gould, Oklahoma.  A group of us have met there every week to pray.  We call it the prayer farm.  I love the tranquility of this scene.  

Longhorn and Calf

"Longhorn and Calf"

I painted out the white calf in my last painting and I think it looks much better.

Longhorns

This is another painting of longhorns in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge.  I'm not entirely pleased with the white calf on the far side of the cow.  I may paint it out after it dries.  Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

An Iowa Farm

I painted this scene from some photos I took of my husband's family farm years ago.  I loved the late afternoon light.  I enjoyed painting the Iowa greens--we just don't see those colors around here.

I took the photo of this scene several years ago in Zion National Park as the last rays of the sun colored the mountains in interesting ways.  I really enjoy painting Zion, as the colors are so beautiful!  It truly is a painter's paradise.

This painting is of a fisherman fishing from the dam on Quannah Parker Lake in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge.  This is a beautiful curved dam built during the depression by the Army Corps of Engineers.
