Majestic Longhorns

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.

September's Song

 A trip to Colorado resulted in this landscape oil painting.  Every turn driving in the mountains is a different view.  All the views are breath taking in the vast landscape.  This is the western landscape at it's finest.   We didn’t see any wildlife except for a chipmunk or two.  I was hoping see an elk or moose or some other large wildlife in the Colorado Rockies.  I could have painted one in this painting but, I will paint another landscape later and put wildlife in it.

Lazy Afternoon-Longhorns

© AnnHoffpauir
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

Domino-Longhorn

I can see how this Longhorn aquired it's name.  Some things just naturally can name themselves.  Cattle are just a few creatures that fit that discription.  How many of you have seen a cow or horse for that matter, and the name fit?  The same can be said for cowboys.  For more western, longhorn or equine art, visit my website http://www.ArtworkbyAnn.com

Painter-Longhorn

This Longhorn is one of the best looking one's I have seen. They are all pretty but there are exceptions. This one is still kinda young and has a while to go to achieve the long
horns we associate them with. The eyes on this fella is what caught my attention. My dad had longhorns when I was young. I miss them both. Please visit my website for more western art, http://www.ArtworkbyAnn.com
