Three critter paintings

Below are photos of my three newest paintings for the Ranch House Gallery Exhibit which opens on Thursday of this week.  For some reason the photos have a washed out look and the colors are not as vibrant as on the original paintings.  I apologize for that.  I have so much to do that I don't want to take the time to re-take the photos.  You have seen other versions of these paintings before.  That is my dilemma....I love to create new and different subject matter but also I know what sells.  Since I don't do prints I do the most popular subjects over and over.  I have painted Equine Mystic four times this year.  One sold at a show and two were commissioned so this is number four.  Once this new exhibition opens I have a to do list.  The first is to clean my studio.  It is a mess!  Along with cleaning up the mess I have to reorganize everything.  Over the past few weeks I acquired a bunch of new frames and craft items from rummage sales and also was given some fames by Earl Wettstein's family.   I was the one who told him about getting frames from yard sales so they gave what he collected to me.  I thank them for thinking of me.  After everything is clean and organized I will start to paint again.  I  have no desert scenes so will start working on them first.  Since I draw the scene on a blank canvas no two are alike.  I have some ideas for new subject matter tossing around in my head so I want to work on getting them on canvas.  I have no new shows booked until fall so I should have plenty of time to get my inventory back up.  Wait!  I forgot that the first thing I have to paint before the desert scenes is an old saw that I am doing for my daughter and her husband.  I used to do them when we lived in Ohio.  This is the first one I've done in probably 20 years.  Every so often I do a throw back to the old days.  I'm still trying to make up my mind what to paint on it but one thing I know is it won't be a desert scene.  They live in the mountains so I know for sure it will have some pine tree.  In a few days I'll post information on the up coming show.
