Don't know why but I couldn't get this one to where I liked it until yesterday.  This 30 X 30 is an oil painting on stretched canvas.  Typical Iowa farm animal.

Continuing with the ladies series, I decided to try to be more loose in my colors and brush strokes.   I found if I can keep that attitude  I really like the outcome.  This 20" X 24"  oil on stretched canvas is my latest one.  
I find as I age my hand is not steady and with this style  I can utilize the shakes.  This was fun and no real straight lines to paint.  Colorful and eye catching.  Give me your feed back please and tell me if I am correct in my feelings!

Since my last post I have been working on a series of paintings using mostly black, white, and red.   These are of ladies and can put a pop into any room.  These are fun to do, some are very simple and some more detailed.  Working on the forth and will post pic in a couple days.  First is a 20 X 20"  other two are 8 X 10's

Just finished "Riding the Dusty Range"  a framed 12 X 16  oil and acrylic

Country Sunset  a framed 11 X 14  in oils

Just finished this sunset of a snowy timber area.   Love the colors.   This is a framed painting in oils.  Ready to hang.   Check it out on my website under Country Life section   www.inspiredartbyk.com

Here is one of the smaller ones I am working on.  Have a couple more sketched out but not started.  This 12 X 16 is just started in acrylics and will get over painted in oils before finished.  A long way to go.

Trying to get ready for the Casino display and shows, I have decided to start painting some 20 X 24 and down to 8 X 10 so I have some that will fit in a lot more places.  I tend to paint large and that take a special place to hang it.   I really like to paint the large pieces but will see how this goes.  So far I am taking as long on a small one as a large one and that seems crazy.   I purchased several 20 X 24 and 8 X 10 frames to encourage myself to paint smaller!  Thought maybe looking at that investment just sitting there might encourage me.
What a way to make my brain work.  Hope it works.    Anyone with ideas?  I seem to be lost!!!!!

I finished this 30 X 30" painting and it is on my website http:www.inspiredartbyk.com   for sale. 

30 X 30 painting of a country scene, stone bridge, church, and stream.  Love to do these country paintings.  My chimney on the last painting turned out so well thought I would try to do an old fashioned stone bridge for travel to church.  Nestled in the valley, the sun has just risen and the fog has not completely lifted.  Gives a clean morning light effect.  This is just the beginning, some areas painted some just sketched in.
