A Future Promise

"A Future Promise" (pastel, 36x46 inches) $6700

Here it is, the showstopper I've been working on all week. These two are mother and daughter, and belong to a good friend who is fortunate to have the most beautiful Longhorns I've ever met! And unbelievably, I caught this pair posed just like this for my photo! They were fated to be painted.

A Future Promise will be at the Main Street Fort Worth Arts Festival, this weekend April 18-22. Find me on Main in booth #518. Hope to see you there!

Here are just a few progress shots:

I decided that mama, who's numerous faint spots I had calmed down in the painting, needed a few more prominent spots to balance her daughter's.

Scout

"Scout" (pastel, 6x6 inches) $265 framed

These recent little daily paintings have been my warm-ups for what I've really got going this past week: my largest painting yet, a mama and baby longhorn of remarkable beauty. I hope I can do them justice! Scroll down past Scout's progress shots for a peek at the underpainting...

Scout will be with me at the Main Street Fort Worth Arts Festival, April 18-22. Find me on Main in booth #518, between 4th and 5th Streets.

And... my largest longhorn painting at 36x46", as yet untitled. Here's the underpainting in progress. This post was scheduled since 3 days ago, so hopefully I'm getting close to the finish by now. If so, it will be posted later this week, and will be my showcase piece for Main Street Fort Worth!
