Blue Skies

This old barn has been painted by me several times.  It is about a 20 minute drive from my home.  An older, really slim cowboy owns the place.  He owns quite a few cattle and I have had the privilege to to paint them.  Only they must have been in the barn, cause I didn't see'em that day.  The day was beautiful and bright, great for a western painting.

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

They Call Me Coach

© AnnHoffpauir

The title of this painting may sound a little strange.  Usually there is a reason for such things.  So, here is the story about the title of this painting.  The wife of the couple that owns this bull bought it as a surprise for him.  He always said how much he liked Longhorn cattle.  Wished he had some Longhorns of his own someday.  Well, she surprised him alright, on his birthday one year.  And you ask, "where did the name come from"?  Her husband happens to be the headcoach of the football team at their high school.  Since then they have raised several Longhorns and many of them were given names relating to the sport of football.  Check out my website for more western, equine and Longhorn paintings.  Visit my website, http://www.ArtworkbyAnn.com   

 

 

The Big Babies, Percheron's

                                          The Big Babies, Percheron’s

   The two young draft horses in this watercolor are like the title indicates, big babies.  This breed of draft horse is called Percheron.  The draft horse is a very gentle and docile animal, making them easier to train and work with compared to regular sized horses.

   My youngest sister and dad bought and worked them.  I wanted to show the size of them by comparing them to a person.   My sister used the old beat up bucket to get the horses’ attention to come up to the barn so she could harness them for work or whatever.  This method works very well because when they see the bucket they think food.

   This watercolor is size 15x18.  I may be contacted at ahoffpauir26@yahoo.com  or visit my website at www.ArtworkbyAnn.com.
