Today I had too much fun with this. I can’t imagine a better job! Th
e dicipline of daily painting is interesting; I paint things that I never would in a larger format. They’re so much FUN though, that it’s hugely added to the enjoyment, and I think has opened up a lot of venues of expression. I find myself asking myself “what if” a lot more than I ordinarily would. Like today…what if I painted a pretty rodeo bull all decked out for Christmas. What IF!!

It was a “dog day” today. Nothing but a dog would do. So I did another portrait of my good friend Stu. The day I met him, he was out & about with his person, Brenda, and there were no livestock around. We wanted him to do his border collie “thing” and look all intense. All he could think to do was look pretty. There was obviously no work to do! So this is Stu with no horses to supervise or cattle to herd…..having a day off.

Well I nearly went cross-eyed trying to do this drawing. The reference photo had 6 cows in it and trying to figure out where one spotted cow ended and another began was some fun. Have you ever noticed in a herd of Holsteins, how individual each of their spot patterns are, and how varied? Bet you’ll be checking it out from now on, won’t you.

Well, we’re way overdue for a dog portrait, so meet Stu!
Like most border collies, nothing makes Stu happier than helping out with the livestock. Luckily, his “people” Brenda & Danny provide him with lots of fun & excitement.

As you know, I love colour, and that’s one of the reasons I’m such a rodeo fan. If you want colour, that’s where it’s at Baby! Rodeo people are colourful, in every sense of the word, but oh, the horses and the bulls!!

This guy is a retired roping steer that friends of mine have kept around just because he’s so darned easy on the eyes. I’ve painted him before, but with my new commitment to abstraction, I decided to try him again. He’s already pink and purple, orange and green; all I had to do is push that a bit. The attitude was a freebie. SOLD

This guy was standing beside the road over in Saskatchewan one day. He sure thinks he’s pretty, and I guess we’ll all agree. I used a little of my abstract tactics with this one…giving cartoon edges jumping up the colour with the felt pens. Why not!?

When the west was being settled, these kitchens on wheels rolled with the cattle (and the cowboys who worked with them), and the grumpy old cooks were the most popular guys in camp….famous for their talent with bacon, biscuits and beans.

Hello! Look who’s just arrived, along with spring. It really feels spring-like and the days are wonderfully long, the sun warm and delightful. The very best thing about winter is the day that it starts to lose it’s icy grip, and the word starts to awaken with new life.
