"Colley Whisson Workshop"

Have just had the joy of taking a fantastic four day workshop with Australian artist Colley Whisson. http://www.colleywhisson.com/

Be sure to check out his website and take the time to watch some of his demos on YouTube. His use of color and the ability to capture light in a painting is like watching a magic act.

These are my four paintings from the workshop, following along with him as he did a demo each day on his step by step process.

Texas Cowboy

oil on hardboard

This was painted some time ago for a project in the Dallas Arts District. Because of it's shape, I thought it would be perfect for my Facebook cover page. Like it also because my husband was kind enough to pose for me, well, sorta made some changes, I added the mustache and dark hair. It has recently sold to a new Texan, moving here from out of state. Welcome to the Lone Star State!

"Bark 1"

I know, this is a switch from my recent plein air paintings. Thought I'd have some fun with some dog protraits and hope to do a series of "bark" paintings, so they will have numbers instead of names for these cute little guys! Look for them to be available on Daily Paintworks.
