February and March 2009

Well I have not posted in a while, here is what I have painted lately... It has been a very stressful month.. my husband was laid off his work place and our investment property was burned down by one of our tenants. Dealing with insurance is really draining my energy.

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 :)
