Art by Oklahoma Abstract Contemporary Equine Artist Jonelle T. McCoy

"Tension" 18"x24"x1.5" acrylic- available

It's been awhile since I posted, I've been busy but not so much on the art side. After the equine festival I was a part in NY, I came back home and felt somewhat out of sorts. There have been some changes in my private life that have good points and bad, I have guests coming for Thanksgiving that are staying a whole week, and soon after my husband has the first of his both knee replacements done. There is a LOT of preparation going on for the time he's recovering, getting wood cut, split and stacked since we heat with wood harvested from our own property, cleaning up in each room throwing out old stuff, donating other things and/or finding a new pile to put it in while another area gets the treatment. Sounds like an easy task? Ahhhh, no- it isn't. Small house, packrat type husband and a gal who really hates housework lol makes for slow going. I did put out the call for 2016 calendars, and I want to have some new work to put in it, but have found it hard to settle and focus on artwork. So much going on distracts my mind and me being scatterbrained doesn't help with the creativity. I guess you could say I am having a bit of creative blockage- caused by the busy list we face for a long haul of recovery during the winter- or by some other reason? I'm not sure. I do have a nice stack of started works, some smaller but more larger. So maybe say a prayer for me that I can find some peace in my mind, heart and soul to enter that special place where magic happens and I can connect what's inside to canvas. I can tell you all- it's something I will give thanks for on November 26th. 

If you've ordered a 2016 equine art calendar, and have yet to pay your invoice, please don't wait much longer or your count won't be included in the print run. I only print those that have been paid for in advance not counting my own number- so don't wait, and yes, I am still taking orders if you want one! Thank you.

Original Colorado Landscape Oil Painting "The Old Loading Dock" by Colorado Artist Nancee Jean Busse

                             



 When my husband and I bought our home this old loading dock was left on the property. For us, it’s a symbol of the days when it was still a working ranch. The hills behind it change their disposition and color throughout the day. This painting shows the land in midsummer glory.

Art by Oklahoma Abstract Contemporary Equine Artist Jonelle T. McCoy

"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

© AnnHoffpauir
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

© AnnHoffpauir
  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.
