Inside my studio, painting cows one day, computer tech the next.

I have to share a little about my life as an artist.  I can't speak for other artists and of course we are all individuals, but it takes a lot of different hats to pull it off.  Yesterday I was a computer technician.  

 

 

I spend some time sitting on a couch with my laptop, where I have a view of what is on the easel and can study it from a little farther away than when I am standing at it.  

 

My studio laptop keyboard was not working anymore, and needed to be replaced.  Enter YouTube, my savior, with a video showing exactly how to replace the keyboard on my particular laptop!  I highly recommend looking on YouTube anytime you need to fix something.

 

Now I am typing with great ease once again.  Studio time is precious and so many things come up to distract that I was thrilled to be able to spend 5 minutes on this rather than having to take it to a repair shop, which would have been a much bigger time slot away from the easel.  Now, back to painting this pastoral scene with Hereford, Angus and Baldy calves.

Denise: Love the new motley faced black baldy calf. After buying your painting of Ten Gallon Head a few years ago (and retiring), it inspired me to start painting cattle (and other animals) myself. Now I am "hooked on art as my hobby" and actually have sold quite a few paintings now myself. Plus a lot more "in waiting" to be sold. Also, I have made several paintings for friends and relatives as personalized gifts.

Love your oils but I get along better using a combination of watercolor pencils and acrylics on panels to make most of my artwork.

After getting into this myself, I even more admire your work and accuracy in painting anatomically correct bovine.

Thanks

Steve
