Norma Wilson Original Oil Tiny Rooster Chicken Art

6" by 6" original on wrap around canvas.

Wow! What a busy day I have had in my studio again. I came home from my workshop in Raleigh with such inspiration. It was all about approaching your work with the fun and playfulness of a child. We all get so serious and tight as we get older. I sit quite a bit when I paint, especially when I work on small canvas but the past two days I stood the whole time I painted which is about six hours. I do take breaks but I had my favorite toons playing and worked on several pieces at the same time, switching back and forth. I really had fun and was exhausted from all the fun! I am looking forward to another day in my studio today working on two commissions and a pear series that I began on Monday. Have a great day and see if you can find ways to let the child in your have fun at work! Click to Bid!

Norma Wilson Original Oil Brown Cow With White Spot Art

Today's post is a 12 by 12 original oil portrait of a sweet brown and white cow. I love how the orange reddish highlights in the fur contrast with the green background. It is currently on auction on eBay and can be reached by clicking on my eBay store link. I am off to Chincoteague tomorrow to paint with my friends. It is the third year of doing this and it is always a great weekend. We saw the wild ponies of Chincoteague up close last year and I was inspired to paint them when I returned. One sold to a soldier in Afghanastan who was buying it for his wife's birthday. They owned the horses's son! They had purchased the pony as one of the annual roundups of the island's horses. They even knew his name. I will be looking for "surfer dude" again this year. Hope you all have a great weekend!
