size 11"x 14"

This painting was done from a photo I took at a rodeo.  MY painting buddy was 

painting longhorns and I saw these white hats  and that is what I painted. NO faces just cowboys.

Country Evening Two-Steppers - oil pastel figurative painting

This is from a scene at the dance after the rodeo here last summer - I drew and photographed many rodeo action and western dance scenes during those two days, which means lots of oil and oil pastel bull riders, bronc riders, barrel racers and two-steppers coming up.   I did this one on 8 x 8" Multimedia Artboard pastel panel, which holds many layers of oil pastel - click here to visit their website.  To see more of my artwork, please visit my blog.

White Hat Cowboys are done in oils and on a 12x16 stretched canvas. I took the photo at a Rodeo in Orange,Texas.  When I looked at all these white hats  I knew a painting was there.  Their faces are suggestive and not real faces.   I  hope you like my version of White Hat  Cowboys

The Cowboy-Day 3

The Cowboy

6x6 oil on gessobord unframed

with small display easel

available

 

Western art is my very favorite. I love horses, and cowboys......boots, spurs, you name it!

When I started painting, this is what I really wanted to paint, but it is not always easy.

Sometimes I just jump in and do something western anyway!

Time to Brand

More ideas from all my photos I took when I went out to the 'Powell' Ranch to watch them brand.
They are not kin to us, but very good friends.  They were very generous to let us ( 2 friends were there too) tramp around in their way, (probably scaring their horses ) and take all the pictures we wanted to take! It was so much fun to watch them work. They have a system, and it worked so smooth. I was excited that they roped the calves and threw them, what a blast!
This is  done on 140 lb hot press paper, and is available.

Brand'n by Suzy 'Pal' Powell

I got to go take pictures while our neighbor branded and I loved it! Western art is my favorite!
That is why I started painting...to do western art, then I realized just how hard it really is to make it believable, so I ventured off onto other things. I don't think I could ever do the cowboys, cowgirls, horses, etc. justice but I love to try. 
The young man  had no idea how excited I got when I saw he had on a white shirt! That is what watercolorists look for!

This is done on 300 lb Hot Press Arches Paper, with transparent watercolors.

Available, unframed with a white mat $150.00

"Lil' Dude" original oil by Gwen Bell

8 X 5 oil on canvas

My son idolized my Dad who always
wore a cowboy hat and boots. As soon as
he could talk he started demanding to have
his own hat and boots like his Grandpa.

The photo reference for this painting was
taken when he was around 2. He's 35 now
but I still see that same expression and think
back to this very sweet time in our lives.

Cowboys - Fort Worth – Cowtown - Stockyards - Longhorns ..

All of these words evoke memories of early Cowtown and the old stockyards district is today
a center of daily entertainment and Western-style nightlife.
The Stockyards were developed in the 1880’s and grew to be the largest in the world. Now Exchange Avenue is lined with restored nineteenth-century buildings. Cowboys can be found driving a herd of longhorns through the historic streets each day and we can get a glimpse into our past and heritage. Close by is Billy Bob’s Texas with real bull riding in an indoor arena. It was built in 1910 as an open air cattle barn and now can hold 6000 people for a concert. This north side area of Fort Worth tells a little of the Cowtown story and still has the Wild West atmosphere.
I toured the area taking many photographs and made black and white copies in different sizes to collage. The edges of these copies can be seen and felt on the painting. I drew in the central figure for placement and painted the cowboy figure in acrylics. Some of the words, Ladies, Bull Riding, Main Show Room were actual signs inside of Billy Bob's that were photographed. I painted on top of the copies after covering them with an acrylic medium and used some crossword puzzles for colors and design. Collage is one of my favorite ways of working because if it doesn't work attach something else over it. Gerald Brommer, collage artist, says you can keep doing that until you can't pick it up.
