Big Horn Sheep In Badlands of SD

7/15/2018 7:22:21 PM

When painting this original oil painting these two big horn sheep seemed in sync, mostly at ease and in " Harmony" during the early morning observation. For the background hills I used a modeling paste to generate texture making and adding realism to the rest of this oil painting. I painted this using a limited palette, using Winsor & Newton Artisan Oils on 9" x 12" x 1/2" wood board. The painting is now in a private collection, and as the summer evolves I am painting more Badlands landscapes too.

This week, I will be painting more Great Blue Heron on Hard Board to be finished in a custom frame, so stay tuned too.
