An 11x14. Oil. This was fun to do. Using a big brush to keep the strokes spontaneous and more abstract. The colors mixed nicely on the canvas.

Hello!
A 12x16, Oil. This is a painting based on a photo taken at "The Elephant Sanctuary" in Tennessee. The sanctuary provides a haven for old, sick or needy elephants in a setting of green pastures, dense forests, spring fed ponds and heated barns for cold winter nights. Fun to do. I continue to be fascinated by these gentle giants. Thank you for looking.

Stacked Rock Art
An 11x14. Oil. This is a painting I did for Daily Paintworks, "The Rock Challenge". I have always enjoyed seeing these rock arrangements over the years. I pushed the color on this one as I often seem to do! As I painted I notice the interesting zig zag pattern that the sharp shadows created. Thanks for looking.

Red River
A 7x9, Oil. This is a painting I did while sitting next to the Red River in Red River, New Mexico. It was a beautiful spot. The town of Red River has done a great job of providing walk ways, shelters, little places to eat outdoors and bridges to fish off of to enjoy nature. Made it easy for an artist to find a spot to paint. Thanks for looking.

Red River View from Mountain Trail
An 8x8, Oil. Kent took a photo from a trail he was hiking this past summer. Wonderful view down into the town of Red River, New Mexico. I used it as a reference for this painting. What a beautiful area! Lots of trails to hike. I, however, did not hike...I stayed down by the river and painted! Thanks for looking.

American Flag at Sunset
16x29, Oil on stretched canvas. This is the latest American Flag I have done for a friend of Kent's. Fun to do with the soft sky and sunset colors behind the flag. We are so blessed to be living in this country. I strive to not allow the political strife, uneasy arguments and changes bother me. Just keep praying for our country and leaders. Thank you for looking.

Beach Pier
A 10x20, Gallery Wrapped, Oil. This was a fun one to do. Decided to use a low and wide canvas to accommodate the wide composition. Based on a shot of Huntington Beach Pier in Southern California. A friend of mine is from that area and has fond memories of going to this pier. Loved the pinks and blues, capturing the late evening beach colors at sunset. Thanks for looking.

Fantasy Horse
An 11x14. Oil. This is a painting I did one rainy day up in the Red River Mountains in New Mexico. It was fun to just run wild with the color. We were staying in a wonderful little cabin with lots of wonderful big open windows, letting in the light and sound of the rain. Very pleasant. Thanks for looking.

Walk Along the Beach
An 8x10. Oil. This is a painting based on a photo that our daughter-in-law, Jessa, snapped with her phone during an evening walk with her beloved dog, Liea. I love this time of the evening..."The Gloaming"...the part of the day after the sun has gone down and before the sky is completely dark. That soft almost night but not quite feel to it. This is in San Sebastian, Spain. On the northern coast of Spain. Is rated as one of the best in-city beaches in Europe. A beautiful place! I loved the reflection of the city lights in the water, the look of the soft sand and the big gnarly palm tree in the foreground. Thank you Jessa for the great photograph! Thank you looking.

Kent

Charles 3
An 11x14. Oil. My third try at doing a portrait of our son, Charles. This one with a full beard and smiling! And again...man-o-man, mouths are hard...especially when the teeth are showing! Anyway, always fun to do. Had fun with his hair and beard. I like the shades of color captured in the skin tones. And got that sleepy relaxed expression in the eyes. He's got a nice nose too! Thanks for looking.

Kent 3

Learning to add more of the yellow ocher and burnt umber as well as the rosy pinks and reds. Man oh man ....mouths are hard to do! I'm gonna keep on trying!

Papa Bear
An 8x8, Oil. This is a little painting I did with my students this past Thurs. Each student had their own 8x8 canvas and did the same bear composition. It is so interesting how each one has their own look and personality. We all decided that mine had a definite "Papa Bear" look! We all chose a dark, medium and light color. Not limiting to browns. Kind of squinting at the reference photo and seeing detail color. Filled in the dark areas first, then the medium and lastly the light. Good demonstration on limited palette and how working wet on wet can provide nice surprises of color mixes. Of course the artist has to be careful not to allow muddying up of colors on the canvas. Carefully putting down a stroke or two of paint then cleaning the brush. Everyone finished their painting. Fun for all! Thanks for looking.

Pushed the blonds and reds a bit! I found myself smiling as I painted this one as I do when I paint anyone I love! Thanks for looking.

Epic Beard
A 12x16. Oil. This is our son Charles Ramsdell with this year's epic beard before he shaved it all off! This was actually just one stage of the shaving process. He had that beard up the sides of his face too before he started whittling away at it. I have other photos with the facial hair at different stages with him posing differently. I may do another one or two. He was mugging for the camera and came off with a really old fashioned stern look! I liked it. Lots of shadows and angles to his face and of course his beautiful blue eyes. Thanks for looking.

Abstract Kent - 2

Oak Tree in Summer Re-worked
5x7. Oil. Decided to re-work this little painting using Julie Ford Oliver's "Fracturing Technique". I felt that the original painting was too static. This gave it some motion and interest! The technique is all about using multiple layers of paint and "fracturing" with a palette knife allowing underlying color to show through. A more abstract look. Julie uses a little rubber tool that I have not been able to locate yet. Thank you for looking.

Oklahoma Fall Day
An 11x14. Oil. This painting is based on a photo I took this past Fall out in the country south of Kingfisher. The color was fabulous this past year. It was a bright day and I was drawn to the dark gnarly trunks of these trees. And of course the bright slash of color of the leaves! Thanks for looking.

Kingfisher Grain Elevators
An 11x14. Oil. This is a springtime scene I have been wanting to paint for a long time. Based on a photo I took northwest of Kingfisher. I added the strip of lavender color from an adjacent field. I love the angles in all the hardware of the grain elevators. Not sure what all that hardware is for! Just tried to paint what was there. The field in the foreground was a pretty green in the spring but I changed it to the golden wheat color of later in the summer. An artist prerogative! Thanks for looking.

Selfie
An 8x10, Oil of ME! Yikes! I remember years ago my mother doing a self portrait. She did hers by positioning her easel in from of a large mirror and peaking out around her easel. Kind of like the famous Norman Rockwell painting. The easel was a part of her portrait. It is great! She did hers in charcoal. I still have it. I am learning that a painting seems to be more interesting with imperfections and irregularity. At least that is what I want to believe! Thanks for looking.

Albert Einstein
An 8x10, Oil portrait of Albert Einstein. Yes...it's all about the hair! His hair is what motivated me to do this painting at first. Then I discovered how much character his face has. Those sleepy eyes, soft elderly skin and slight smile. Loved doing it. Thank you for looking.
