Another batch of new paintings that I have completed

Well, last week the bakery let me know they had sold 5 paintings already, that together with the two my mom bought and another one that now belongs to my sister, their stock at the bakery was dangerously low, so I painted some more paintings for them. These are mostly horse, cow and moose paintings, plus one with an elephant family. I love painting silhouettes!

I called this painting "Just the two of us"

Here we have a male horse showing off :)
My son really loved the calf in this painting, he keeps calling it "Baby" :)

Here is a mother moose and its calf.

I call this painting "Cow on a Hill" not very imaginative, but it fit hehe.. this is my first try with pine trees. I would like to try this in color.

"Family of Moose" is the title of this painting. I really like how they appear to be walking across a lake with the reflection of the moon between the male and the female..

"Happyness" is the name of this painting with two horses nuzzling each other in the sunset.

I called this painting "Daisy", the name of my childhood horse. This is how daisy used to wait for me at the fence on a cold winter night to go back to the barn. I wish I could keep this painting for myself! I felt a bit homesick for Daisy when I painted this.

"Family of Elephants" is the only elephant painting I created this time, I wanted to try some other animals this week :)

First a baby elephant walking up a hill...
This painting I called "The Father" because it's one big daddy of an Elephant! I love the way the tree has turned out in this painting. When my mom saw the painting she wanted it so it is now in her house near the entrance :)

This painting is a mother elephant and her baby. This painting is framed since I received a few sample frames from Gotrick Inc. They just added some new framed canvases to their line of canvses.

Here is another elephant painting.. I like how the sun looks in this picture.. it has a nice texture and shading. I like this frame as well.. it has a more contemporary look with it's square appearance, it's 2 inches thick but I don't like it's color much. Black would have went better.. but the frame is paintable :)

Here is a night painting of a small elephant herd... Grazing under the cover of the moon.

Here is another sunset painting with elephants, this painting measures 30" wide and 15" tall.

Here is a sheep looking into (or away from) the sunset. The sheep is pregnant in case you're wondering why it is so fat! :D

Here is my try at painting a male moose. This painting is framed as well with a 1 inch deep floating frame look, also from Gotrick inc. This is my favorite of their new frames.

That's all for the animals I have painted in January. It is not my usual painting style, but I have thorougly enjoyed painting these animal silhouettes. My sister in law suggested I try horses next so I might do that :)

My newest paintings from January

Well this month I've been busy trying something new. Elephants, Moose, some birds, a sheep and a few cows in sihouette against sunsets or blazing blue skies. I love the african trees that I painted, they are such a joy to paint! I also painted a few beach scenes with palm trees. All these paintings are for Klaesi's Bakery since they sold many pieces over Christmas and needed something new for their walls!

I call this painting "Which side of the fence are you on?" Looking at these cows I feel a bit homesick since I grew up on a farm :)These birds are sitting on a cliff.. I like how the big one seems to be towering over the small one :)A sunset painting.. I like how the water reflects the sun.
Here is another beach scene.. a small sailboat drifts in the morning breeze.. This painting reminds me of the beach after a storm with the sky having hints of reds and the water a deep blue/green color.
