Cowboy Up by Kay Wyne

Cowboy Up is a 24" x 24" oil on gallery wrap canvas. This painting was inspired by a trip to a horse show in Gainesville, Texas that my nephew, Casey Settles was in. He was getting his chaps on getting ready to ride. I liked the clean lines in his hat. I gave him the painting, and it is now hanging in my sister's home in Illinois. Thanks for viewing this blog!

Sharon Hodges: Cowboy on 'Donut with Sprinkles', 36x36x2

Greetings, friends, Sharon Hodges here. I am new to this blog, and this is my first post. Our topic this month is 'cowboy up', so here is my offering......

I totally love the rodeo...the cowboys, the animals, the characters in the stands, the kids, the clowns, the whole big, crazy spectacle. I especially love the odd names of the bulls, and this one is no exception. Eight seconds is a lifetime if you are on the back of a really agitated, massive bull like this one. The cowboy did not win this engagement, but he gave it a great ride.

If you have interest in purchasing this painting, please contact me. To see more of my work, please visit my blog. Thanks for looking!

Dipped N Vip by Kay Wyne

Dipped N Vip
Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
12" x 16"

This painting is dedicated to my nephew, Casey Settles. I used a 2008 photograph of him and Dipped N Vip (yes, that is the horse's name) as a reference for this contemporary oil painting. The brush strokes are loose and don't have much of detail. The photograph I was using was taken indoors, but I put Casey and the horse outdoors. I am told that Dipped N Vip is a very special horse, and it is owned by Black Hawk Community College, located in Illinois. He is very handsome and had great colors. Casey is a student at West Texas A & M, and captain of the Equestrian Team. We will go see him at the Inter-Collegiate Horse Show and Regionals in Gainesville, Texas next month. (I can't wait to take some great pictures!)

Cowboy Up by Kay Wyne

Cowboy Up
Contemporary Oil Painting
24" x 24" on Gallery Wrap Canvas

This painting was inspired from a photograph that I took of my nephew, Casey...taken about three months ago. He was getting ready to ride in a competition, and my camera caught him putting his chaps on. He need alot of help because they were very tight, and had to have two people working on those chaps. The rodeo arena was in the background, but I wanted it to be abstract and only a suggestion of the fence and the ground. I used oil sticks and oil paints with my wide brushes. I had alot of fun with this painting, and I might start a cowboy series.
