"Perigee Moon" 36"x36"x1.5" textured acrylic- SOLD

     September is nearly over, and what a busy month it was! Busy doesn't equate to painting time however though I did have a couple art related events going on. 
     The NY festival wasn't as I expected, I did enjoy meeting fellow equine artists however and talking to folks was fun and enjoyable. I was glad to have family there to support me and that made for great photo ops. 
     I entered 3 pieces in the OKC State Fair and did good- 2 first places and a third. In horse racing, that is good to be in the top three! I got a nice critique by one of the judges and that was a rare and welcomed treat. 
     On Sunday night I spent nearly 4 hours sitting in the front yard watching the perigee blood full moon total eclipse- that was a rare occurrence and I was thrilled to have clear skies to see it. It's fun to imagine what people thought back before science knew what was happening.
     With the advent of October just days away, it's time to start thinking about the upcoming holidays and for many- the beginning of taking orders for my annual equine art calendar. I will announce that soon, and will send out a newsletter mentioning it. You can sign up by going to the home-newsletter sign up page on my website here 
     For me here in Oklahoma, this is the beginning of better weather for horseback riding. Feels good to not just paint these wonderful animals but to go out and enjoy the world from the back of one!

Summer Sky

This little western scene was painted while I was out in the Texas Hill Country.  There were cattle way out in the pasture and the sky was bright with some scattered clouds.  I could not see the cattle very well, so I just suggested them in the scene.

Oak Grove Retreat - Deer

© AnnHoffpauir

Sometimes life can pass ya by if ya don't slow down long enough to enjoy it.  This is a western scene painted from a visit my husband and I took a while back.  We almost passed up these deer eating acorns under the oak trees.  We stopped and slowly backed up on the old country road we were drivin' on.  I was barely able to get a couple of photos of the deer before they bounded off.

Titmouse II

  This little Titmouse was in a shrub near my back porch.  I like wildlife subjects to paint and one of my favorites are small song birds.  Where I live there is an abundance of wildlife.  Most of the time you just have to be patient and them, the birds and other critters will appear.  Observing them always benefits me in my artwork.  http://www.ArtworkbyAnn.com

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!

What ! - Titmouse

© Ann Hoffpauir

This little fella was in a shrub by my back porch when I took its picture.  The look on its face is of surprise and he seems to say "what!".  I am glad I got its picture before it took off.

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.

Some Wranglers

This painting was created from reference photos taken while attending a cattle round-up.  The cowboys were bringing the cattle in for their bi-annual shots, worming and that oily stuff for flies.  It was a long hot day but well worth it.

Simple Beauty

I painted this horse from photos I had taken while attending a horse show.  This horse was performing during a dressage competition.  Some beautiful horses and riders were there.  It was a bright and beautiful day.

"Fired Up!" 16"x20"x1.5" textured acrylic- $550.00

I am addicted to color- all color- though yellow I can only take in small doses, but it does have it's place and uses. I prefer my yellows to be in the earthy range, like yellow ocher and raw sienna for y golden horses. There are times a color combination captures  my attention and I repeat it to gather up as much energy from it as I can. Such was the case with this painting. It started with #60 in the summer series, was repeated in "Eternal Flame" (posted two blogs ago) and now here it is again in "Fired Up!". This one is heading to NY for the EQUINE! festival to be on display there. I know there are artists who's work encompasses just a limited pallet, and I don't know if I could do that- I like to use all the colors to express myself- for mood, emotion, and aura. My favorite color is magenta purple, but I don't use it that often to paint with. My niece just got married September 5th and her color chosen for the wedding was purple. I was so thrilled! I often wonder- why does one certain color or blend of colors appeal to people? Why do we have those preferences? With my art, I'm bound to touch on favorites since I love the whole color wheel.

Cattle and oil tanks and pumps are a somewhat common sight in parts of Texas.  We sort of forget that it has been that way for quite some time.

Bluebird - mini watercolor

© AnnHoffpauir

I have been painting miniature works for the last several days. I chose to do a series of the song birds around my home. This stiff lookin' little bird is an Eastern Bluebird. Maybe he sees a cat nearby and he is on alert. Whatever it is, he's ready...!
