High Plains Spring by Sharon Hodges

During my summer travels, I was able to study a herd of buffalo near my cabin.  I really enjoyed watching these massive beasts graze the mountain meadows...they were still shedding their winter coats.  This painting was done with brush and palette knives, size 18x22.  Available for purchase.

Mountain Lake Fishing by Sharon Hodges

Fly fishing gets a bit more challenging when the calm morning mists burn off and the slightest breeze starts to nick the water surface....but, gosh, it is still really a great place to just be alive.  This painting is 18x22, lots of surface action in the paint, primarily palette knife work.  Currently drying in the studio.  Available for purchase.

Blue Moon Rising by Sharon Hodges

I saw many elk this summer in Colorado...very up close and personal...they were huge!...well, ok, at least much larger than me...and majestic, elegant creatures.  It was amazing to watch them move thru the meadows...and around town, and across the street...They are big enough to go damn near anywhere they want...traffic just stops, and you wait...works for me.  This painting is drying in my studio, 48x36x1.5 gallery canvas.  Available for purchase.

The kings of the prairie are one of my favorite subject matters...seeing herds of these majestic beasts is a real treat.  I was recently able to photograph the herd near Evergreen, CO, on a beautiful summer day...lots of great reference material.  This painting is 30 x 24 x 2.5 on extra deep gallery canvas, currently drying in the studio...heavily painted, mostly with palette knives.  I hope you can feel the grasses in the meadow... available for purchase.

S. Hodges: Play Ball, 30x40x2

I totally love dogs and their consistent excitement about every little thing. This golden retreiver, like most, LOVES to chase her tennis ball...every time is like the first time. I hope my painting captures a tiny bit of that joy. I guess painting dogs, as subject matter goes, may not be considered 'high brow art', but I believe the human species would be alot happier if we approached our lives like dogs approach theirs. I will likely paint more dogs.
