This painting had been in the works since April after my two other large sheep paintings sold from my solo show! I guess I might become known as the "sheep lady" instead of the "cow lady" lol!
Watch a 5 minute speed demo of this painting Here! It includes a short intro explaining my thought process for the composition and how I made it. Some closeup details also in that link!
Finally, here was my last demo from the August workshop in New Braunfels. The 3rd day is when I usually do a landscape demo.
I sometimes like to show an alternate underpainting method, so I painted this one with a pastel underpainting washed in with denatured alcohol, starting on one of my single-primed gold-colored boards. Unfortunately I didn't get any process pics during the demo, but it was the same process I used on Park Trail #41, here.
I thought I was done with this painting three times, click here to view pictures and read more!
"Little Brown Pig" (pastel, 6x6 inches)
Yay! I did 21-paintings-in-31-days of August! That was a lot easier than 31 paintings for sure. In fact, I actually did a little bit more but haven't posted everything. There were two pencil portraits of young sisters half-way through the month, and I still have the landscape demo from the workshop to post.
Maybe I can keep up the momentum and post 20-in-30 for September...
Maybe...

This cute little guy was a model for a demo I did years ago in Ohio. A bird rescue place volunteered to show us their residents, and since I have a soft spot for Screech Owls, they let me take some quick pics of this one to paint from. (I wasn't going to try it from life, lol!)
This painting is ever so very slightly larger than life size though. Screech owls are the cutest!

I painted this rooster once before, and I was drawn to his bright palette. You can view that painting here, on the post for "Bruiser"!
