Standing beneath the window of his sweetheart this western Romeo is hoping that a few notes from his concertina will win her affections.

I did this one back in '02 and exhibited it at the Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival in California. I traded it to one of my favorite western painters, Joelle Smith, for two of her paintings. She told me her Dad played the concertina. Sadly, Joelle died from cancer in '05 just as her career was set to take off. Here's a link to her website:
A great artist.

More photos in the album and comments welcome.
Her watercolors are just wonderful Lynn. I have put some time behind the brush and the canvas and I really appreciate a good watercolorist. It's hard enough of a medium to control let alone paint animals without it becoming muddy. Glad you got a couple pieces of her work. I think my all time favorite is Frank McCarthy. Love his work.

These are all incredible Lynn. Thanks so much for taking the time to dig through your older work and share with the rest of us. I have a question. I dig through your old posts and didn't find an exact answer. Before you paint, exactly how much water are you spraying on the piece before you start to paint...and how long do you wait for it to dry (or not) before you start painting. Thanks very much. I'm about to tackle my first and don't want to mess it up.

Tom: I just spray the whole figure or dip the head in the water bucket and wait until it soaks in. Once thats done I have at it.
ReplyDeletePerfect Lynn! Thanks! I'm gonna dip him right now and have at it. Thanks for your time.
