Sleepy Foal Debra Sisson Oil Painting Horse Art Portrait Farm Animals Country Equine

Oil on Raymar panel, 11" x 14".

I was interested in the light falling on the foal's body and the deep shadows establishing her form.  Her sleepy face was an additional delight!  With her mother so near she looked safe and satisfied.

Black and White Billy Goat Debra Sisson Oil Painting Goat Portrait Farm Animal Pet Portrait

This goat looks very different from his personality.  He appears to have the markings and horns suited for a battle.  He's really a gentle sweetie though.

Leaf scape abstract 16x20 day 30 in 30 day challenge...day 8

Leaf abstract

Day 8 of the 30 paintings in 30 day challenge.

Leaf abstract

16x20 on  gallery wrapped canvas

This painting was done with thick paint applications with brushes

And pallet knives.

After which a lot of scraping down and re-application

Of more paint. There was a rubbing out done in some

Areas as well.

I added small leaf skeletons to different

Area. Some of the leaves I had glazed with paint

Before pressing into the paint., many I left plain and they

Are extremely subtle.

Below see a close up of the pressed leaf details that are hidden

Throughout the painting.

I am really starting to enjoy more

Abstract painting the older I get, it is not as

Easy as it looks!

I have heard that if you can turn your painting any direction

And it looks good, you have a successful painting.

That is entirely true with this painting.

I hope you have enjoyed my painting of leaf abstract! As always

I would love to hear from you, feel free to comment.

This painting was given to my close friend Dodie up in Iowa.

Great Expectations 8x10 oil by Leslie newman

Great Expectations

This was a fun painting to do.

Great Expectations was one of three paintings I did

To enter into the Illinois river shed salon . This juried show is 

Annual and is relatively new. The paintings must be completed within 

The water shed area. When you enter your painting, you must provide the location

For the jurors to prove locations of the piece. 

This yr I did three paintings

All three paintings were submitted by the deadline on September 2nd. I think I had 2 minutes to spare! LOL

Waiting patiently to hear about results today. If any of my painting are juried in,

They go into a show and reception at a local garden

and art venue called  Compton

Gardens in Bentonville,NW Arkansas.The top 5-6 winners, then get to have their paintings

Put on display at Crystal

Bridges Museum of American Art.

How exciting that would be!

I feel like this is my  strongest piece of the three.

I was driving over a bridge and saw this shining water with a blue heron studying the

Water looking for a snack, thus the name of the painting,

Great Expectations

Wise and Ageless Pug Debra Sisson Oil Painting Dog Portrait Animal Pet

Oil on Canvas, 12" x 9".

I finished another portrait of my then elder pug, Mabel.  My lovely sweetheart passed into spirit in July at the wise old age of fifteen years and will always remain my faithful but very outspoken companion in life!  I am still in awe at how she retained her funny, joyful and accepting attitude throughout her sometimes difficult life.  She radiated beauty!
