Old Buffalo Resting

7.5 x 9.5 gouache and Caran D'Ache over ink sketch posted a few days ago. This is on matboard and ink is Elegant Writer pen. I decided the old bull needed color so added it in a vignette style.

Artist's Statement

"Working from dark to light provides me with immediate gratification seeing value comparisons. Whether I'm painting architectural subjects, animals, floral or still life, I am always looking for the darks first. By establishing these values early, I'm better able to judge the values that follow.

Since creating art is a solitary pursuit, I become absorbed and as one with the painting. Initial excitement usually drives me headlong into a sketching mode with or without value studies. Primarily I work from photographs.

I paint because I have to paint; I want to show you what I see. Viewing my works will be a revelation of who I am.

Remember this: Good art won't match your sofa!"
