This painting is a continuation of the previous painting, They Call Me Coach. The couple that owns the Longhorn cattle, he being a football coach, have named some of the calves after the sport of football. I think that is cool, two fine activities that in a way compliment each other. Bulls, bullheaded, strength, ornery, ah just to name a few. This painting is a 6x8 oil and is sold.

Yesterday I posted on my blog a story about how a Longhorn got his name.  Well, it wasn't in the title of the post.  I forgot to put it in.  I was wondering if anyone saw that it was missing.  So...the title of the painting is "They Call Me Coach".  Leave me a comment if you noticed my missing title.http://www.ArtworkbyAnn.com

The title of this painting may sound a little strange. Usually there is a reason for such things. So, here is the story about the title of this painting. The wife of the couple that owns this bull bought it as a surprise for him. He always said how much he liked Longhorn cattle. Wished he had some Longhorns of his own someday. Well, she surprised him alright, on his birthday one year. And you ask, "where did the name come from"? Her husband happens to be the headcoach of the football team at their high school. Since then they have raised several Longhorns and many of them were given names relating to the sport of football. Check out my website for more western, equine and Longhorn paintings.

Original Colorado Landscape Painting With Horse, Rider Sheep and Dog , "High Country" by Painter of the American West Nancee Jean Busse

I love painting the Meeker Sheepdog Trials. At the far end of the competition field the sheep wranglers release the sheep at the beginning of each run. That’s what this painting depicts. I love the colors of northern Colorado in autumn; brilliant sun on yellow fields, blue mountains, clear skies… Colorado at it’s most rare and beautiful!

Original Western Landscape,Equine, Cowboy Painting "Days End" by Colorado Artist Nancee Jean Busse, Painter of the American West

This has been my year of painting the things that fill my soul with loveliness and beauty. The photo reference I used for this painting is one I took up in Kalispell a few years ago. It WAS the end of a long June day, and everyone was tired and ready to go home and call it a day. As the sun was setting and the hands were chatting quietly, these two horses reached out to one another with a nuzzle, and nickered softly. It was all perfectly beautiful. 


This painting won third place in 2-D art at the Women Artists of the West show “WAOWed in San Diego." 44th Annual Women Artists of the West National Juried Exhibition at the Women’s Museum of California, San Diego, CA. May 2 – May 31, 2014.

Since my work has currently taken on a theme of western ideas, such as my war horses, I felt it was time to offer for the first time out of my own personal collection my acrylic painting named "Harbinger" in it's perfectly complimentary gorgeous professional frame. Originally this painting was going to be the showpiece for my first solo show at the Sweet Earth gallery in Shawnee, OK, but after getting it framed, and hanging it on the wall (what better way to store a painting while you finish the rest for the show?) it fit there so well it stayed. 
The first horse I bought when I moved to Oklahoma was a BLM mustang. What a horse I got for my $125.00! I named him Mercury- winged Messenger of the Gods. Under the dirty crust of caked mud and tangled mane and tail was one of the smartest, charismatic, savoy, unafraid, and a true leader with a regal bearing and such a character. I think of him when I see the "Harbinger" painting. At that point in my career as a fine artist I was just taking my first steps into having my work seen in person in a solo show as mentioned above. I had no idea where my art would take me, but I felt there was change coming, and I was excited about that prospect. So "Harbinger" represents the dream and anticipation of an upward direction in honing my style, my techniques, my emotions on canvas. 
That mustang on the high vista with his head turned into the wind, with one of his mares just below, will always represent a turning point in my fine art career. I now offer it up to you for the first time, with it's public introduction at the Kasum Contemporary Fine Art gallery in OKC. For info on purchasing go here for "Harbinger"
May the winds of change bring us all better things with which to enrich our lives. Jonelle

© "Masquerade"

Used to be a time when I wore makeup, regularly and especially when I went out to be with friends or on dates. The colors, the lines, the particular way it was applied was an art, simple, but effective. For a very long time now I've been more focused on my assessors, oh how I love my jewelry, especially purple gems and semi-precious stones. By applying these dressings, we change how we look, and it sends a message. How you perceive that message is a personal observation. 
Lately my focus on the work I've been doing has been on Indian War painted horses, adorned with feathers and painted symbols on their faces, necks, shoulder and rumps. I use both real symbols traditionally used when Native American War parties were waged, and I have also took the liberty to create my own to suit myself and my message, my feelings, my observation. I'm finding this avenue most enjoyable. The first, and most inspiring, was used with my ever present muse and model Adonis, our gorgeous charismatic Paso Fino stallion. I added the feathers, the war paint, and the costume of changing his rump to be an appaloosa (I love those spots they have!) and realized it was like dressing up to go out on the town, like going to a costume party, and the title "Masquerade" was just perfect. Adonis is my husbands heart horse, he was thrilled with this painting, and it now hangs on the wall in our home, as a gift to my sweetheart for his April birthday. If I saw this in a gallery, I'd be stuck in front of it soaking it all in. Yeah, I like it that much! Hope you do too. No reproductive prints have as yet been offered.
