The Artist Behind the Curtain is Back!

Just in time for the holidays. I'm giving some thought to what I want to paint, and decided to ask you for suggestions. If you have a photo of a dog, cat, horse, landscape, barn ectectera that you think would make a great painting, send me an email to darecca920@yahoo.com. If I decide to use your image I will email you. All paintings resulting from this experiment will be listed on ebay with a low starting bid and free shipping.

You must be the one who took the photo, or have permission from the photographer!!!

Meanwhile, I'll be combing through my resources for inspiration.

Absolutely wet paint new landscape

Landscape Study #16
Barn
5"x5" oil on canvas
This one is just off of the easel, and I really like the effect. I started out just doing one of the tonal landscapes, then decided it needed a barn and tree on the horizon, I like the effect. Peace and Solitude.
This painting is sold.

New landscape, not so new landscape


Landscape study #15
Field
5"x7" oil on linen

Horses....from Behind the Curtain....again....

Horse study #3
Passing By
8"x8"
oil on canvas

I've enjoyed painting the horse themed works, so here is another study for consideration.

I like the way the main subject is running past, while the other horse in the background, standing still is half on, half off of the canvas, like standing and watching life go by is only half a life. It could mean anything else to you, but that's what I saw!

Sold.

Buffalo Painting with Sunset

"On the Range at Sunset"
8x10 oil on canvas

New offering from behind the curtain, a Buffalo out on the range at sunset.
This is an 8x10 on canvas, stretched and ready to frame. I know someone with a Buffalo
ranch, so have had the opportunity to get my own photo reference, which is really fun, and not
something everyone has access to I'd guess.
This painting is sold.
