131 Sycamore by Paddock at Keeneland

As you might have noticed my paintings are not always about the obvious subject. At the horse shows, I don't paint a beautiful going over a jump, but the view over an old fence to the barns behind the ring.

My trip to Keeneland in Lexington, KY was not during the seasons, but between. There were still horses around, but the atmosphere was quiet. Here is a painting of the old sycamore tree at the paddock in the morning light. In the background are statues of jockeys painted in the colors of the race winners.

130 Pigs - Mother and Child

Everyone loves paintings of mothers and children. Look at Mary Cassatt. She hangs in museums around the world. She just didn't paint pigs. Well, maybe there weren't any British Saddlebacks around for her to paint in Paris.

129 Blowing Rock View down from the Wall

This second painting from my latest trip to Blowing Rock zooms in a bit more on the trees on the ridges of the mountains. The sunlight coming over the mountain catches on spots of gold and orange trees.

I tried taking photos from the car while driving down the Blue Ridge Parkway. Since I was unable to stop at the most interesting spots, I resorted to just pointing the camera in the general direction and pressing the shutter button. I was pleasantly suprised at the results. I was even able to catch a couple of cows in some shots.

126 Blowing Rock View from Wall

I was back in Blowing Rock in the NC mountains this past week. The leaves had turned color, some were gone and the mountains were blue and grey with spots of orange, gold, red and of course, green pines and hemlocks. I set up the easel down the road from the horse show grounds at "The Wall" a popular spot for drinking wine in the summer.

The two paintings I did became almost abstract as focused on painting just a small part of the hillsides.

125 Portrait of Fox Hound

This portrait of a PennMaryDel Foxhound was based on photos I took on my excursion with Mr. Fred as noted in an earlier post. I also traveled with him at the hunt's opening meet. A bit different experience. More photographers than horses it seemed. And as far as listening for the hounds, there were about 80 other people having a good time with us...

122 Waiting

Yes, I have been at horse shows since September. I think it's beginning to affect me. Wednesday I was honored to be allowed to watch and photograph a local hunt. When I arrived I was handed over to Mr. Fred, the retired huntsman. Mr. Fred drove his Mazda pickup down lanes and across fields. Like a fast boat ride across choppy seas. We waited in one spot for a while, then drove back, down the highway, down a county road and up a dead end road to reach the other side of the hill.

Sitting on the side of a country road, looking down a long driveway waiting for the hounds to show. "They will cross about there and then either head away from us or come toward us and turn..." Mr. Fred was sitting in the truck, I got out for a while to take some photos with the long lens. After half and hour, forty five minutes, the people whose home we were parked in front of must have gotten a bit suspicious, because a sheriff's car pulled up behind, lights flashing. Mr. Fred, who happens to be eighty-nine was able to convince the deputy that we were innocent citizens, just waiting for the hounds. While waiting for the hounds, two riders showed up on the road. Whippers-in, they were there to keep the animals off the road. The study below is of one of them. She was actually standing in the road, but I used a bit of that artistic license.

119 Upperville Oak

When it comes to painting at horse shows, (which if you didn't know, I happen to do a lot. Especially old showgrounds with old grandstands and buildings with character. No landscaping, just landscapes.) the Upperville Horse Show is in my top two (depending on the weather). The Upperville Show has been going on since 1853, the oldest horse show in the USA. (They did have to stop for a few years in the 1860's.) The showgrounds and the rings are filled with old oak trees, which makes for easy painting. Just find a spot to set up the easel, look around and paint.

Since the oaks are living trees and some very old, the show does loose them to disease and storms, but they are constantly replanting trees to continue the tradition. Here is a painting of a jump under an oak which is no longer there.

100 Dolphin

I am ending the first 100 paintings and starting the second phase of this now ongoing project with this dolphin painting. The photo was taken from my brother-in-law's 65' research vessel, Weatherbird, as the dolphins played in the boat's wake. My last encounter with dolphins was kayaking with my wife in Jarrett Bay off of Core Sound in NC. The bay averages 1 - 3 feet in depth. We both heard what we thought was the other's labored wheezing, until looking around we were in the midst of 2 dozen dolphins. A totally different experience when you a down at waterlevel and surrounded. We tried to keep up with them but they took off across the bay to the sound.

Almost heaven... This field is just south of Culpepper Va near the Commonwealth Show Grounds. I was leaving the show to look at an old church ( future paintings ) I had been told about and this was the view in the rear view mirror. This subject will definitely be developed into a larger painting.

He gets one of us gets up at 6:30 to feed him. After his can of food he chases, runs and goes nuts throughout the house, with the 5 dogs looking on in awe.

94 Red Eyed Tree Frog

Red Eyed Tree Frog. I have completed a number of these 1 Hundred Paintings Project paintings in between these two tree frogs. They are paintings of various dogs. The collector who commissioned them will be giving them as presents so I won't be showing them at the present. I will be posting a small video of me working on this painting in a day or so.

92 German Shorthaired Pointer

German shorthaired Pointer out in the field. This girl is not our Shorthaired Gizmo. But I will tell you about him anyway. Gizmo is another family rescue dog, who was found at the pound. We don't know his early history, but he is deathly afraid of gunshots, fireworks etc. A bit schizo and of a rather sensitive personality, we try not to get him excited. Along with the Rottweiler, he is our guard dog, keeping UPS and mailman from invading our yard.

90 Show Llama

Why do I call this painting "Show Llama"? You see the nice neat mane, flowing off to the right and left? Well, that is not natural. Our llamas would have anything and everything stuck in their manes. If they were out in the woods, it wasn't unusual to find 2-3 foot long tree branch hanging from one's mane.

At a recent horse show, I was discussing llamas with an exhibitor. They had friends whose llamas would spit and butt you with their heads. Ours were nothing like that. Willie and Magic just didn't lower themselves to interact with mere humans. We were welcome to bring them food. In fact the only time one of them tried to spit at me was when I was taking food away. My shop was in one of the areas set aside for them. If I was working outside, they would come up to watch. But only on their terms. The reason for the long neck is so that they could look down on you.

87 Piano Study

Last week we went to the opening reception for the Show your Swine art show. While enjoying the artwork, the wine and food we were fascinated by the piano player who was set up in front of windows with the late afternoon/evening sun coming through. Of course, I had no camera with me nor easel and paints (probably would be frowned upon at the event) or even a sketch book (that would have been fun), so I asked one of the directors of the Art Council if she would take some photos for me. She already had taken some and she took some more. This painting is really a study for a larger work. Should it be called a piano etude?

82 Afternoon Surf

Wow! Over eighty paintings and this is my first seascape. It's not that I don't like to paint seascapes. Some of my first plein air paintings were seascapes and I still love to take the easel to the beach or the salt marsh and try to capture the endless movement of light and water. So here is the afternoon sun picking out the banks of clouds lined up offshore while the waves ceaselessly crash on the shore.

See what you can end up with if you go to the Gala Party at the Blowing Rock Horse Show. "Jack," no name as of now, was one of the items in the Silent Auction at the Horse Show Party.

The heat is here again today. I decided to work in the studio today. This old barn was down the road from us. I don't know if it is still standing as I worked this painting from an old refernce photograph. I wish I could get better color in the digital images of these paintings, but since you have a different monitor, even if I got it perfect here, it would probably look different to you.

59 Laughing Goat

As I get ready for two weeks at the Blowing Rock Charity Horse Show, the very real possibility of coming home to more goats than when I left rears its head. It turns out that one of our new goats, Oreo, was with foal or whatever its called with goats, when we got her. What fun, baby goats, five dogs, a blind pony and a pony that likes to chase goats.

Here's someone whose expression says it all.

58 Blue Eyed Hound

Another painting in the Dog in a Golf Cart at the Horse show Series. I saw this fellow at the horse show in Culpepper VA. His owner told me that he is very popular with the photographers. She rescued him from the pound, though she had no intention of getting a dog until she saw him.

57 Tobacco Barns

The tobacco barn, a rapidly disappearing site from the Carolina landscape. The tobacco leaves were tied in pairs and hung from tobacco sticks in the barn to dry and cure. This type of barn has since been replaced with the bulk barn, which looks like an silver shipping container. And those have been replace with subdivisions. (At least in the Raleigh NC area)

The latest tobacco news. The military wants to ban smoking when in uniform, including on the battlefield. Too dangerous?

55 Old Post Office

I got to stand in the shade painting this one. Our local town has a Art after Hours gallery walk the second friday of the month. So while everyone else is in the air conditioning, drinking wine and eating, I set up the easel and go to town. This cupola is on the old Post Office building in Wake Forest NC. Built during the depression it has a wonderful WPA mural inside. No longer a post office, it now houses a chiropractors office. A good thing since the mural includes tobacco farming it probably isn't polictically correct and who knows what the government would do.

54 Foxhound

I began working on a project for a neary Hunt. I am currently doing research for the painting, which involves taking and looking at a lot of photos and traveling to the location. I really liked the expression on this fellow. He seems to be having a great time, running full out.

47 Jack in the Summer

A Jack Russell at the horse show. Our NC clay here  is not quite as red as it is orange/red, so I played with the color a bit. Hot sun on red (orange) clay. This is one of two of the Jack's at that particular barn. The second Jack is coming soon.

46 Wild Eyed Cow

Again, I apologize to those of you who are interested in purchasing a painting, only to find that it has been sold as soon as I post it. At the horse show last week there was a lot of interest in these paintings and I had a number of multiple paintings sales. The price and size make them ideal for gifts. They can be equisitely framed for almost no money. There is always someplace that they can hang and can easily be grouped.  

 

Remember the Eighties? Don Henley or one of those ex-Eagles had a song out "All she wants to do is dance." One line refers to "wild eyed pistol wavers." Well, this is my dairy cow version of the wild eyed pistol waver. No mad cow disease here, just some intense emotion.

45 Tree Frog

What a week it has been. The Horse Show is over and it was a good show for us. In addition to showing our work and creating these paintigs, I was able to complete a commissioned portrait while working there. More info at http://www.sfilarsky.blogspot.com

Here is a Pine Barrens Tree Frog, named after one of it's habitats, the New Jersey Pine Barrens. A rather intense but amiable expression on this frog.

44. Young Holstein

A young Holstein heifer, no it's a Friesian.  While at the horse show yesterday, a young lady studying animal science at NC State enlightened me. The name depends on where you are. America ( holstein ) or Europe ( friesian ). There are also Holstein-Friesian. If  I have this right, Holstein-Friesians were imported to in the US in the 1800's.  A cattle disease in Europe caused the end of the importing. In Europe, the cattle were used for both dairy and beef, while in the US they were developed strictly as dairy cows. European cows became the Friesians and the US the Holsteins. Later after World War II, when dairy and beef production in Europe became more specialized, the US Hosteins were crossed with the European stock for dairy production, thus the Holstein-Friesian. The breed originated in a northern region of what is now the Netherlands, Friesland. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the German region of Holstein.

43, Holstein Calf

While painting at the horse show, I get lots of encouragement, inspiration and suggestions. The consesus is....more black and white cows! 

I find that when I am painting a commission or working on a painting that I think someone will like there is an added depth to the creative process. It's no longer just an "I want to do this..." self centered activity (not nessecarily bad) but using my skills and talents to help someone else express themselves. Using the metaphor of communication, it is having a conversation with someone, opposed to standing an talking to oneself and having others overhear.

The commissioned work can lead to new learning. Solving problems and trying new and different ideas.

37. White Bird

Beware of "Chick Day" at Southern States. Free chicks with the purchase of a bag of feed. This is probably where the drug dealers learned their sales techniques, first time is free....  Your wife and children will come home, "Honey, we need to build a chick coop.   And we need to build it now...."

I was painting this on what was one of the hottest days this year. It didn't quite reach 100, but considering that it was raining and in the 70's for most of the week, it was hot. To get a bit of topic, I was struck by the similarity of the song "Hot Summer Day" by the group Its a Beautiful Day and Borodin's "On the Steppes of Central Asia" They both use a single violin playing a high thin theme to give the impression of the heat rising off the ground and the hot sun on your back.

I am not totally coming from left field here, Its a Beautiful Day had a big hit with the song "White Bird" way back when.  So that's two connections..

I hope you enjoyed this look into how the mind of the artist works.....Here's the painting

34. Jessie

Here is a portrait of Jessie. Jessie is now 15 or 16. Jessie was found alongside the road late one night. Our daughter Kelly was coming home from work about 11pm and to quote her. " I went by and when I looked back in the rear view mirror and she was sitting in the middle of the road watching me drive off." Jessie came home with Kelly. Theresa and I heard the knock on the bedroom door. "Look what I found on the way home." Before Theresa could finish saying no, Jessie had gotten on the floor and crawled over to her. Lying in front of Theresa, Jessie put her head on Theresa's feet and looked up......

The next day, Jessie had already figured out our property lines and was defending her territory from strangers....  I will have to do another painting of Jessie so I can tell more stories about her.

33. Jersey Rabbit 2

A few years back, we had taken a drive to the Jersey Shore with a ride on the Cape May Ferry from Delaware. It was evening as we got on the Garden State Parkway. On the trip from Cape May to Long Beach Island we amused ourselves ( Life is Grand if you are easily amused and entertained ) counting rabbits on the roadside. The total was somewhere around 72 -74. Two years later we made the same trip and the count was zero.

This fellow is a companion of the rabbit from painting 16. Is this a case of Jack London's Call of the Wild on a slightly different level.

31. Feeding the Squirrels

"Easily entertained" could be the used to describe my family.  Feed peanuts to the squirrels on the patio with the dog inside behind to sliding glass doors. The family dog has grown used to them, but when Theresa and I go to PA to visit with Rosie and Louis, they go nuts. We can get great photos with the telephoto lens as the squirrels are often not more than six inches away. This fellow had already grabbed his prize and was heading away to eat in peace.

29. Woman with Watering Can

About a month ago, I loaded the easel into the car and headed down the NC Farmer's Market. May is a great time to go and paint. All the nurseries bring their flowers and plants to sell.  I painted a 9x12 oil there and took some photos to work from later in the studio. Under some tents a bit away from the main building was a herb farm was set up selling plants. Since there were no water lines to the area, a watering can was being used to water the plants.

28. Lots of Pigs

Here is the story to date. One week ago, Tuesday June 9, 2009 at about 8am I turned on my computer. It wouldn't load windows. It wouldn't do anything..... long story short - hard drive was gone. No Data. I had a new hard drive installed. Had the operating system installed. Now I have been discovering what was not backed up - recent photos, customer and client names, etc etc. I have been reloading programs and reloading them and discovering the ones that I forgot I had but needed........Downloading website files to computer to back them up before I make any changes....

In a previous painting, you met Cookie, one of the two goats we added last month. While we were picking them up at the farm, we saw a pot bellied pig with a slew of piglets running around. Theresa suggested that a painting of nursing piglets. I think that it has an abstract quality to it, like Monet's haystacks....

27. Willie the Llama

The story of this painting goes back to the early days of Theresa and my marriage. I was reading an article in Smithsonian magazine about llamas. I said "Hey honey, look at these llamas." and handed her the magazine. It wasn't long before we were driving to the mountains to take a look at a llamas. Not to look at any llamas, but two specific llamas. Willie and Magic Man were two males that ended up living with us for a number of years. Lots of stories about these two.

26. Pennsylvania Farm

This and the three previous entries are the most recent of the One Hundred Paintings. I posted on the same day, though they had been painted over a period of several days.

This painting is from my trip to Pennsylvanina and the Devon Horse Show. The farm is located near Unionville and Doe Run, home to the Belted Galloways of previous paintings.

25. Jack on the Box

Twenty five paintings. We are now one quarter of the way through this project. As you may have noticed, I am posting the paintings in groups rather than one every day. I am working on coordinating travel and painting and blogs and emails. This week we will be at home. At least until Saturday when we head to Blowing Rock, NC.

Back to the Horse Show. What do we find. A Jack Russell sitting on a Tack Box.

Looking back, it might be time to change the name of this project to "100 Livestock Paintings" This donkey painting is the result of a suggestion of a collector.

This painting is based on a photo sent to me by one of my collectors. I like to think that Paco is looking, remembering days past galloping across the field.

21. A Sheep's Head

"I don't see any sheep." was one of the comments I heard at the CDI Raleigh Horse show where I was exhibiting these paintings along with larger works and portraits by my wife, Theresa. Since sheep were "on my list", that comment made me move them forward to the front of the line. I do have a number of ideas for future paintings that don't involve animals and I hope I can get to them. But not until I have painted a few more pigs.....

The response to these paintings has been beyond my expectations. I want to thank all my 100 Paintings collectors for helping to make this project enjoyable.

20. Cookie the Goat

Here at the old Homestead we have lived the past few months without any goats. I wasn't aware that this was a problem for my wife. Well, it was and she solved it. Our new goats are Oreo and Cookie, two female dwarf pygmy goats. Cookie was named Shorty before she moved here, but Shorty seemed a bit too masculine for her, so she's Cookie now. Both goats have horns and the dogs have learned to keep away. Shadow the pony is getting used to them, but still tries to stomp them occassionally.
