A Pause That Refreshes

A western painting with three good looking horses.  A Texas scene that would relate to ranch life and working cattle or horses alongside some tough cowboys.  It could be a hot day on a ranch in a western state where these horses needed to cool down a bit with some refreshing water.  This painting is size 36x18 painted on canvas panel. http://www.ArtworkbyAnn.com

Orange Angel Fish

An Orange Angel Fish is the third in a series of paintings of salt water fish.  These paintings are very exciting to paint because of letting the paint follow the wet misted paper.  I used negative painting in the coral again as in the last two Angel fish.  Enjoy.  Visit me at http://WWW.ArtworkbyAnn.com

Yellow Angel Fish

Another Angel fish.  I may do a series of these type fish.  Salt water fish are very beautiful to paint especially in watercolor.  The colors seem to mix themselves on the misted paper.  I used a lot of negative shapes to create the coral in this painting as I did in a previous Angel fish painting.

Blue Angel Fish

This Blue Angel Fish was painted for a friend that wanted something that would fit in her beach house.  Salt water fish would fit that description.  Angel Fish are very pretty and colorful.  This painting is done in watercolor with a lot of negative painting to create the coral.  I will be posting more soon.  Visit my website at http://www.ArtworkbyAnn.com

Eastern Bluebird-Male

The Eastern Bluebird is one of the sweetest little birds that are around my home.  The male bluebird is very caring to the female bluebird and later to their baby chicks.  They often have two broods in one season.  It is interesting to watch how the bluebird pair interact with each other and their babies.  This particular painting is going to the Texas Bluebird Society for their auction.  This painting of a songbird is one of a series I am planning on creating.  For more bird paintings and wildlife paintings please visit my website at http://www.ArtworkbyAnn.com

Lazy Afternoon-Longhorns

These three longhorns were in a pasture just taking in the warm sunshine on a early fall day outside of Austin, Texas.  It was a lazy afternoon that day.  These majestic animals always fit the western landscape so very well.  Cattle, cowboys and horses

are the main thing I think of about Texas.  This oil painting is size 14x18.  For more of my western art visit my website http://www.ArtworkbyAnn.com
