I am going to be in Wickenburg this weekend at the Cowgirl Up! show at Desert Cabarellos Western Museum but this painting will not be in the show because I just finished it last night. I'm always a little nervous going into a weekend like this and painting calms me, makes everything right.
My work is taking a new turn. My first love was portraiture but in the past few years I've been experimenting. This is what I know about my preferences today- I can't bear to mess with perfection of humans and animals while the sky and trees open the door to a kind of abstract storytelling.
I want wild color and to be free to imagine. Painting is the closest thing to flying.
You simply amaze me. I love the drama of the sky and the bold, last rays of sun .. just beautiful, Marcia!
ReplyDeleteThis painting is wonderful!! Love how you captured the setting sun...and as Darlene said, the drama of the sky. I also love your cowboys and I'm glad you decided to paint them vs. George, haha!! You are a wonderful painter!!
