Here is the finished painting.‘Ride ‘em Cowboys’ is 18″ x 24″, oil on canvas.The challenge of this painting was to put enough detail in the scarf in the background so that it would be interesting but not so much detail that it would become the focal point and overwhelm the painting. I left the colors muted and low key.
Jack-in-the-Box is oil on masonite, 16″ x
18″.
You
gotta love Cowgirls! The title comes from the pulp fiction book cover
in the background. Red is my favorite color and this painting has plenty
of it!
The painting includes vintage ceramic cowgirls, a dog (or
is it a coyote?) cactus, a six-shooter and an Indian blanket to keep
the cowgirl warm at night.

Cherry Turnover, oil on canvas, 18 x 24
I love to paint pastry. I love to eat pastry. A marriage made in heaven.
The flaky pastry and the red cherries provide the perfect contrast against the antique bone china and the linen napkin. Available |

Wings Like a Dove, oil on board , 9″ x 12″.
The painting is light reflecting through a transparent glass dove. It
is surrounded by colored marbles. I loved painting the light on the
glass and the reflections on the surface. |

Forever Brave, 12 x 9, oil on board
This little guy is one of my favorite vintage ceramic figures . He's a little warrior with a tomahawk. He is standing in front of a wool blanket. Can you tell that I love the color Red? As I've said before, I love painting the different textures. The roughness of the wool, the shiny hardest of the ceramic and the satin reflections on the table all come together to make a nice contrast |
