Oil Landscape, Barbed Wire in Ice 14 x 11

 

I wanted to depict the cold solitude of the Texas Panhandle.

This piece was completed from a reference picture I took on a car trip to Colorado.  I had supervision from Gloria, an North East Independent School District Adult Ed art instructor.  The perspective lines came from Professor Hua from University of the Incarnate Word, and the deep blue sky came from Janice Hindes, my instructor from the Coppini.  These influences all rattled around as I painted this.

The coldness and the desolation seem to make this a favorite piece of my Texas native friends.
