It’s been one of those years for me, and aside from the wonderful Mural ... http://blog.sherigordon.com/2008/09/05/symbiance-a-new-work-in-progress/ The last couple of tweaks that I’d been doing weren’t really noticable on a small scale digital, so I haven’t bothered posting them, but here is the panel as of today. I think it’s done, or darn near close to it. It needs to sit and dry a ... http://blog.sherigordon.com/2008/05/28/storm-chaser-done/ Last night I spent more time developing the horse, it’s slowly getting there. His outside eye and side of face are still bothering me, so don’t worry, it will be corrected before I’m done. The paint got too wet to work with on it though (below that part that ... http://blog.sherigordon.com/2008/05/22/storm-chaser-continues/ Because I’m working in oils on this one, I can add as much or as little paint as I like to a layer, as long as it’s meant to be blended together. Seeing as I didn’t want the purple background paint to mix with the black horse’s paint, I ... http://blog.sherigordon.com/2008/05/21/storm-chaser-another-layer/ I have the beginnings of the horse now painted onto the panel.

LOL So I’ve painted over the whole surface now, in the ... http://blog.sherigordon.com/2008/05/16/storm-chaser-panel-progress/ I am honored to be a participating artist in the upcoming “Le Cadeau Du Cheval - The Horse Gift” Mural Mosaic.

Just to get it out of my system. Didn’t spend too much time planning/drawing it just let it kinda splat out of me with the pastels. (Was getting frustrated with an acrylic painting I’m working on so took some “time ... http://blog.sherigordon.com/2008/01/15/with-a-rebel-yell/ All day last Friday I sat here workin away on a brainiac website that I’d been working on all week…one that isn’t so much visual, but programming behind the scenes, so my brain is sooo sore from coding and debugging, et al. So anyhoo, I’ve been itching to get some painting ... http://blog.sherigordon.com/2007/12/10/my-muse-pure-and-simple-step-by-step/ Our annual Reflections of Nature wildlife art show is coming up next month and I thought I’d try my hand at preparing a piece that I hope to enter in the special purchase award competition featuring pronghorn big game animals.
