These fine looking longhorns were outside of Austin, TX. while my husband and I was on a trip in that area. I wanted to paint a western scene with these longhorns in it. I decided to put the longhorns on a slight hill to give them a more impressive look and feel. It was a bright sunny day and I hope I captured that too.

Summer - Longhorn
Cattle and oil tanks
and pumps are a somewhat common sight in parts of Texas . We sort of forget that it has been
that way for quite some time. This
painting is a reflection of that aspect of life.

Simple Beauty
This a horse painting I created from photos and reference material taken while attending a horse show. This particular horse was performing in dressage competition. Both rider and horse look so eloquent in their performance. This horse begged to be painted and I think watercolor suited him very well. http://www.ArtworkbyAnn.com

WHAT ! - Titmouse
Here is another
wildlife painting. It is a Titmouse,
probably the same one I have painted before.
I snapped a picture of this little fella in a shrub nearby. The look on its face is what I tried to
capture, hence the title of the painting.

Titmouse
This little Titmouse
was in a shrub near my back porch. I like
wildlife subjects to paint and one of my favorites are small song birds. Where I live there is an abundance of
wildlife. Most of the time you just have
to be patient and them, the birds and other critters will appear. Observing them always benefits me in my artwork. http://www.ArtworkbyAnn.com
