This horse cracked me up...I LOVE the foreshortened view of his big ole pretty horse nose!  I had a funny name for him, but I know this horse...I've sat watching my beautiful niece Kaitlinn ride him...so it had to be HIS NAME this time!  And, I love his name anyway!  I plan to do a frame for him if he doesn't sell before that...I'm enjoying framing these!  "Hatchet" is still a bit tacky, so won't be available for a few days for shipping...but he'll be oxidized (did you know that oil paintings don't DRY per say...they oxidize) on or about April 14, 2014.

HAPPY CREATING!

"BEARY CLOSE" ORIGINAL OIL ON CANVAS PANEL © SAUNDRA LANE GALLOWAY

"Beary Close"

7"x5" oil on textured panel

SOLD

HOWEVER, you can find prints on FINE ART AMERICA

Every once in awhile I will do a requested piece.  This is different from a commission really because there is no money exchanged unless the requestOR likes it...that is what happened with "Beary Close".  A friend who loved the moose I did a month or so ago wanted a bear that was similar in feel...THUS this beary close up version of a bear!  Even though he is already sold, I did put him in my FINE ART AMERICA shop!  I created a frame as per her request...so, he's all dressed up and ready to go home!

I've been working on another requested painting the past couple of days.  It is a family barn on a specific piece of land.  I don't usually enjoy anything with lots of linear perspective, but this was a special request.  I have to admit that I don't usually do snow scenes either..especially when we've lived a cold winter...but, this, again, was a request.  I'm waiting to see if they want what I think is an old sign in the piece...so we shall see.  I also had a devil of a time photographing it!  Red just is nearly impossible to photograph!  It is really close in color to the original photo, but you wouldn't know it from looking at MY photo! sigh!  And on we go!

semi completed painting

I've also played around with a frame I made for "SunKissed"...the white was nice, but the distressed grey seemed just right!

 

AND, it's been awhile since I bragged on my family...I just got a kick out of this sweet photo of my grandson Paxton at the butterfly pavillion...he is SO gentle and curious...what a lovely thing to see...the wonder of a child!

 

and on we go!

HAPPY CREATING!
