Cactus Ranger

20" x 20" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Longhorn

Inspired by a photograph taken by Renn Lawrence...thank you Renn!  I couldn't take my eyes of this longhorn, and finished him in the studio yesterday.  I amped up the colors, but used the photograph as a reference.  I loved the golden yellows, ochres and oranges on his coat.  He is drying at the studio right now...Thanks for looking at him.  Contact Kay Wyne for more information on Cactus Ranger.  Kay

LBJ Ranch by Kay Wyne

LBJ Ranch

8" x 16" Oil on Panel

This small painting was inspired by a Hill Country trip

last spring.  On a driving tour of the LBJ Ranch I 

took some great pictures of the cattle.  

I wanted to get the colors right on this painting,

and not get fussy on the details. 

The Texas landscape is beautiful on the ranch

and the cattle are amazing. 

This is painting #2 in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge!

Thanks for looking at this blog....

Have a good and safe holiday.

Where's the Beef?

Here's yesterday's work, a half sheet (22x15) watercolor painted on handmade rough paper. I edited out the other cows that were behind her, hence the title. When dry, black India ink was used in small amounts to enhance overall effect of a dusty, grassy outdoors.
