Hereford FaceDebra Sisson Oil Painting Cow Art Farm Animal Portraits Steer

Oil on stretched canvas, 9" x 12"

Hereford cattle have interesting faces I think.  I'm a cow enthusiast and I'm biased.  But who couldn't admit that they are nice to look at and admire?  This curly-topped Hereford cow is resting her chin on a fence and enjoying the view.

My favorite rose bush 6"x6" oil on canvas

My Favorite Rose Bush

This Rose bush is something else. I painted this in under 1 hour

for the www.Dailypaintworks.com weekly challenge this week.

The challenge was to use three colors only, Ultramarine Blue, Cad Red light, and Cad Yellow. white very sparingly. Go outside, find something growing from the ground and paint it.

So, I of course, headed to my favorite Rose Bush. This bush was given

to my by great friend Cindy, several yrs ago on my birthday.

I had planted it in our back yard against the fence on the North side. It did

nothing. A yr later, I moved it to my shade Garden on the North

side of the house against a fence that gets filtered light, with a little direct morning

sun. Since moving it, the bush is thriving. It has more than

tripled in size  and is producing massive amt of blooms.

The other day, it had 45 buds and blooms on it.

I hope you enjoy my very lose impressionistic painting

of my favorite rose bush!

Cape Glossy StarlingDebra Sisson Oil Painting Bir Art Fowl Wildlife Exotic

Oil on canvas hardboard, 6" x 8".

This bird is a glossy starling and is a South African native.  It was a playful painting for me.  The  striking blue-green metallic feathers along with his yellow eyes were intriguing.  And the best part was his quirky shadow!  These starlings are frequent visitors to gardens and feeders where they live.

Rose BouquetDebra Sisson Oil Still Life Flower Vase Garden Impressionist Red Pink Purple

Oil on canvas panel, 12" x 9".

This painting is from a few years ago and was sold to one my most wonderful collectors.  Thanks, Lynn!
I'm exploring new approaches to flower painting with an impressionist feel and I like the way in which these roses and vase came together as a painting. I kept the brushstrokes simple and the colors seem to vibrate with the gold tones throughout the pinks and purples. I also used thicker paint in describing the shapes of the leaves and blooms.

SallyDebra Sisson Oil Painting Dog Art Pet Portraits Daschund Commission

Oil on stretched canvas, 10" x 8"

Sally is a chocolate Daschund and I think she looks stunning in the sunlight surrounded by greenery in this painting.  She's a curious dog and has fun both inside and out.  The heart-shaped leaves of the vines in her yard made a nice background for her portrait.

Red Onions and GalicDebra Sisson Oil Still Life Painting Organic Vegetables Kitchen Art Glass Bottle

Oil on canvas hardboard, 10" x 8"

I really wanted the title of the painting to include "green bottle" but that would be too long I thought.  The things I enjoyed were the strong light falling across the onions and garlic and also the many reflections and shapes in the green glass bottle.  This was definitely a fun piece, but it was one of those paintings that I feel I had included too many details and wasn't what I had envisioned when I started.

"Pleasant Grove" oil 8x10 by Leslie Newman

"Pleasant Grove"

oil 8x10   

This is a dramatic scene off of a road nearby we will call

Pleasant Grove.

Early one morning earlier this summer, I was driving home from       

dropping my Husband off at work. It was early and 

the sun was just coming up into and over a few of the trees as I headed East.

I left out a few homes and sidewalks and made the scene my own for this painting.

The beautiful brand new greens were still very young and bright.........I hope you enjoy my Pleasant Grove painting.

Begonia BloomsDebra Sisson Oil Painting Flower Art Still Life Botanical Garden

Watercolor on watercolor canvasboard, 8.75" x 11".

I kept watch over my begonia bulb after planting it in a pot and made sure it received plenty of shade so that I could finally enjoy its beautiful leaves and blooms.  My attention to it paid off with these delicately-colored flowers.  I decided to paint them in watercolor on the watercolor canvas I've been experimenting with for some time.  The watercolor paint can be applied in puddle-like forms to make the shapes of the composition which I find interesting.  And many layers can be built up if  I'm careful not to disturb the layers underneath with a heavy hand.  I sprayed the painting with clear acrylic so that it doesn't need to be framed under glass like watercolors on paper must be framed.

Bee Among AzaleasDebra Sisson Oil Painting Flower Art Still Life Garden Honey Bee Insects

Oil on canvas hardboard, 9" x 12"

An artist friend photographed a wonderful image of a bee busy at work on a cluster of pink azalea petals.  It became one of many challenge images to paint in our artist group.  The mediums used were oil, watercolor and colored pencil.  This oil painting was my contribution.  I love the translucent wings of the bee covering the azalea bloom.  I still haven't painted the bowl of lemons that the others have finished.
