Painting and drawing was a major part of my life as a child but dissapeared during my teens and through my life as an adult working fulltime in the corporate world. The awakening came one day at the office when I realized that I had to return to art, quit and took a partime job. I began classes at a local art league and painting at home.
Another awakening arrived when I had my first intimate encounter with a dairy cow. Then there was the interview with Temple Grandin...no more eating these beautiful creatures or anything with a mother. My goal is to depict these non-human animals as the sentient, beautiful beings that they are. That's it.
Another wonderful cow painting. Your paintings always stand out on Leslie's blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you and back at you. I am always drawn to your work!
DeleteI Love Lucy ;) Great example of temperature/value. How is the paper working for you?
ReplyDeleteThe Fine grade is frustrating to work on so far. It seems that high key paintings like this one might be the way to go with this surface.
DeleteLove the colors and values...and of course the subject matter.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Polly!
