Texas Longhorn Linda Rupard

This is a longhorn painted from a photo we took of a Longhorn near a campground in Fredericksburg TX.   The longhorn was a reddish brown one  but I like spotted ones best so this one is spotted.  I used Torn bits of found paper & some hand painted tissue paper.  It is painted on watercolor paper then collaged over completely with torn paper & some cut strips.   I am sharing 2 photos of one side my studio , as you can see time for Spring cleanup.  Hope to share more organized area soon.   Time to get back to work & enjoy spring weather painting in  studio.

Joshua Tree Linda Rupard

This acrylic painting is on an 8 X 8 gallery wrap canvas,   ready to hang.  I did this when we were in Congress AZ.   Looks warm I think .  We are having some warm days now her in West TX feels good.  Just need some nice rain showers so our wild flowers will bloom & everything sparkle with the dust settled.  Hope there was enough  rain in the winter so our Blue Bonnets will bloom good and we can go down to the hill country soon to see the fields of blue so very beautiful.

Wickenburg Sunset Linda Rupard

This is a sunset over the mountains near Wickenburg AZ I did while we were there.  Second photo is my workshop painting I did in Diane's class from one of  her photos.    Both are done on Arches cold press 300 lb. paper.   Third photo,  we  were setting on this  outside balcony of a Sedona restaurant having an ice cream cone looking out at the beautiful colorful mountains.  Really an awesome place especially  for artist  you just have to paint or snap a photo.

Copper & Poppies Linda Rupard

This is a watercolor on Archs paper 22 X 30.   Painted from a still life set up  that I had painted before.  I changed this one up because I only had the drawing & not the set up.   I like this one much better.  This cute little Baby Burro was in Earp CA Mama was close by.   I have to paint this little guy soon.
Hope everyone is staying warm & cozy .

Da Vinci Exhibit Linda Rupard

Met these new friends in Earp CL when we were there.   We have been there before & had never seen the wild Burros.  This time we saw maybe 50 Burros ,  this was on different days so could have been seeing some of them more then once.  It was so neat to see all the Mothers with babies  and all the different sizes & colors.
  While in Parker AZ we saw a Leonardo Da Vinci exhibit & it was awsome
Both paintings and wonderful reproductions of his inventions.  Paintings were reproduced on canvas & looked like the real thing.  Most of the inventions were working models  and some could be activated by hand.
