This is the start of my newest painting, a Texas Longhorn bull. I'm painting him in oils on a large gallery wrapped canvas.All the thick sides will be painted a dark hue, so there is no need to frame- just hang him in your favorite room!
I got carried away working and didn't take a photo of the bull drawn into the brown before I started putting in another layer of background and a little detail color.
It never ceases to amaze me as I "birth"a painting! I used to be paranoid if anyone tried to look at my work before it was finished. I think with time and experience that fear has left- well, mostly. If I am drawing something and I'm not happy with the drawing , then I don't really care for on-lookers. Oil paints are so forgiving and easily manipulated. I' m hoping you won't be disappointed with the final painting- I don't think you will!
Then the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man's nostrils, and the man became a living person.
