Roosters Barnyard Chicken Art


Today's painting is a 20" by 24" painting that I did in a very impressionistic style. I was inspired by the light on these roosters and all the colors lit up in the scene. It is on wrap around canvas with 3/4 inch sides that are painted making framing optional. It is now on auction on eBay and can be viewed by clicking on my eBay store link. Hope you are all having a great weekend. We just had a deluge of rain that fell in a very short period of time but bringing some cooler air with it! The lawn is happy too as our sprinkler system is not working. Thanks for checkin' in!

White Faced Cow Approaches


Hello All,
It sure was a HOT day here in Virginia. It seems like in the "old" days it didn't get this hot until August. Luckily we have air conditioning and as long as you were pretty sedentary, it wasn't to bad. I spent the day painting. Yesterday I worked on a newsletter all day and took a break from painting. I have been getting a lot of good response from people about the dogs I have been doing. I do commissioned pet portraits and this time of year is a good time to have one done as it gets crazy around the holidays. I work from photographs and you can get more information by e-mailing me at nswilsonandco@cox.net.
Today's painting is a 12 by 12 original oil on wrap around canvas that is 3/4 inch deep. It is currently on auction on eBay and can be reached by clicking on my eBay store link.

Cow on Blue Background


Today's post is a 12 by 12 original oil on blue acrylic background. I have sold quite a few of these cows done on a solid blue acrylic background. The cow is done in a very thick painterly oil and makes for a nice contrast. It is on wrap around canvas with sides painted so framing is optional. It is currently on auction on eBay. I am excited to have my cousin Pauline visiting from Ireland. We just had dinner together along with my sister who brought her down from Massachussets where she lives. We are headed to the beach tomorrow after I spend the morning shipping paintings and working on a couple of pieces in my studio. I have a large floral which is a close up of pansies and another of gladiolas that will probably be on the agenda. It has been fun seeing so many paintings on the daily painters site. Our challenge for June has been very inspirational and we also have some new painters who have joined us. Hope you have a great day.

With all the activity and wonderful energy....I am inspired! This piece will be available by e-mailing me until Friday and then it will be going to my gallery.
