How Now Brown Cow by Kay Wyne

How Now Brown Cow

(this is a temporary name for the painting, until I decide on title!)

40" x 30" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Cow

Framing is optional, as the sides of canvas are painted.

I think I am finished with this painting.  It is sitting on my easel, and I will take a few days to step away from it and see if I need make any adjustments.  This beauty was over at the Ft. Worth Stock Show in February this year, and I decided to put him out in a field on my canvas.  I may need to re-take the photo, as the colors don't look as true in the photo as they do standing in front of the canvas.

Here is my reference photo...I thought he was beautiful standing there in the barn, getting ready to be shown. His coat was clean and blown-dry.  I think he traveled from Illinois to Ft. Worth for the stock show.  Below is a a close-up of the eye.  

Thanks for looking at this blog, and if you have any questions or comments concerning this painting, contact Kay.  Thanks for looking....Kay

Cowgirl by Kay Wyne

  

Cowgirl

20" x 20" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Cow from the Ft. Worth Stock Show

I just finished this painting yesterday in the studio.  John and I had gone over to the Ft. Worth Stock Show a few weeks ago, and I was taking a few pics when we were walking through the barns with long-time friend Scott Schwerer, from Blandinsville, Illinois.  He is a cattle guy....and we learned alot, saw alot and had fun that day.  I don't know what this cow's name really is, but John Wyne appropriately named her Cowgirl.  That works for me.  

Here are a few photos of Day #1:  when I drew the cow out on the canvas and started doing my rough sketching.  I started with a 20" x 20" canvas, and painted a base color of a Titan Buff so that I was not working on a stark white canvas.  Some artists draw with charcoal or pencil, but I skip that part and go straight for my brush and oils.  I don't have enough patience to go through a detailed drawing...all I want to do is paint my subject matter.  

Here I was putting in my darks, using dark violets and transparent reds and browns.  I also decided to put in the background color of an icey blue/grey, which is opaque and will make my subject matter pop on the canvas.  It will just be background, so I used a two inch flat brush and laid it in, not spending much time on it.

On Day #2: I was adding more layers of paint and putting in the darks again.  The eyes are not set in, just scrubbed in.  I have thick brush strokes of paint to indicate the beautiful fluffy coat.  The cattle at the Ft. Worth Stock show were well groomed and very handsome and I wanted the coat to look clean and fluffy.  I did not want any muddy colors on tthe canvas....

Yesterday, Day #3:  I was spending more time on the snout and eyes of this cow...and putting some mid-tones in since I usually loose them along the way.  As you can see, I had a reference photo and used it for the basics, but used my artistic license to make Cowgirl my own.  I darkened the nostrils up and put some whiskers and eye lashes on Cowgirl, and signed the painting!  Cowgirl is looking for a new home once she dries...contact Kay with any comments or questions on this painting.  

Thanks for looking at this blog.....Kay

Blue Sunrise Pink Cow, Contemporary Western Watercolor Painting by V. Bridges Hoyt

I posted an earlier version of this painting on my blog yesterday, but this morning I couldn't resist going back in to add more contrast on the cow herself, and now I am happy with the painting. I painted this one with Dr. Ph. Martin transparent watercolor paints. They are liquid and handle differently than the tube paints. As usual I painted with a limited palette of only five colors, but atypical for me was my use of  black in this painting. My paintings are always in evolution, but I think that I am the work in progress. So here she is—final answer—Sunrise Pink Cow.

Texas Beefmaster Cattle in Watercolor by V Bridges Hoyt

"The Beefmaster" watercolor painting below was one of my earlier cow paintings.

The Beefmaster

Texas Beefmaster Breed
watercolor on 12x9 inch 140# Arches paper

Throughout the past six years, I have taken time to ride out through the pasture with my now 95 year old father to check his cattle. Dad would drive the Ford Explorer over pastureland, and I would take pictures of cattle from the passenger's seat. "The Beefmaster" was the first painting from our rides. 

The original painting is in my personal art collection, but the image is available as a giclee print, and I have only two prints remaining. 

"The Beefmaster" print — $35.00 includes 10x8 inch giclee print and 14x11 inch double mat and backer board, ready to frame. This fine art print is so close to the original watercolor painting you can hardly see the difference. The 10x8 inch image is printed on professional artist grade watercolor paper. The print comes matted with a backer board and is wrapped in a clear protective acetate for safe shipping. Shipping cost is included in the price, and you can use the PayPal button provided below for easy payment. If you prefer to purchase with a personal check, please click here.

The second print is on the same paper but is shipped with no mat or backer board — price $19.95 includes free shipping.

Be sure to include your shipping address whichever form of payment you choose to use.

Select one

P007A Print w/ 14"x11" mat & backer $35.00  P007B Print 10"x8" no mat $19.95
