Welcome
Denise Rich, THE EARLY YEARS
The artist as a young girl, exploring her artistic future, was temporarily sidetracked with delusions of being a dancer. It did not take long to discover that her talents were in a different artistic arena, and that she was better suited to fine arts both due to ability and the desire to remain sedentary.

Here are two new Holstein
paintings at long last! I've got one 6 by 6, an addition to the
calf series (which now also includes the Hereford and a
Guernsey.) I loved the look on this little calf and love how the
painting turned out.
 "Spring green and white" Original is sold, available in print, for purchase information click here. This painting is finally finished as well, I like the way they they are both looking right at you.  "Holstein profiles" 12 by 16 oil on stretched canvas this painting is sold. Wednesday, July 27
New calf painting, a guernsey this time, by Denise Rich

I have been fortunate enough to
find some Guernsey's near enough to drive and get reference photos
of. Here is the first painting from a recent visit to a very nice
person's ranch (thank you so much, Linda!) where I am free to roam
about taking pictures of both Guernseys and Texas Longhorns to my
hearts content.
This little calf was full of life and personality, on one of the hottest days of the year when most were staying in the shade, she came out to frollick and clown for the camera. I painted her with a little bit of tongue sticking out because it just seemed right, she was so cute and silly.  "Raspberries to you" this painting is sold Available in print, click here for purchase information. Tuesday, July 19

Five Holstein cows grazing, I like
painting the groupings of multiple cows, this one had a perfect
combination of individuals and a fun element to me with the two
interlopers.

FFA Painting by Denise Rich

The Future Farmers of America
Alumni have a silent auction fundraiser and asked if I would be willing
to donate a work for it. I thought it would be good for them and
good for me as well, so I said yes. This led to my taking photos
of the FFA students at the Del Mar Fair showing their calves, hoping I
would get something that would make a good composition for their
painting. Of about three that I will be painting eventually, this
is the first and I am very pleased with it, I hope all of the FFA
Alumni who are attending the event will be bidding on it and that it
raises a lot of money for the kids.
 "Blue Ribbon" 8 by 10 inches oil on masonite board When I was watching these kids show their animals I kept thinking what it would be like when after having raised them up from little babies they would be sending them off to market very soon, and all that's left is the blue ribbon. I'm sure it is a lot of mixed emotion, and somehow this composition captured that for me. If you are an FFA alumni or student and are interested in having a print of this painting, email me.

My Youngest fan/art collector! You have to see this!

Meet Kitty, my youngest cow
painting owner. At the age of three, Kitty has a thing for cows,
especially the udders, which her mother Viktoria tells me she calls
"bazookas!". It might be as her mom suggests that it has
something to do with being breastfed, I understand totally having had
two of my own that were not in a hurry to wearn. Kitty's mom
bought this painting for her, and she just had to touch the
"bazookas". How cute is that?
 Kitty, I hope you always love your "Bazooka" cow painting! Tuesday, July 5
A new Texas Longhorn painting, and an Original Dog Drawing...

For a while I was concentrating on drawings. This is a drawing I did in 2003.
 This graphite on bristol drawing is 6 by 8 inches. For those who don't know, it's a Brittany, (formerly called Brittany Spaniel). This drawing is titled "The Shnoz", and is of my husband's hunting dog Spek. You can feel the joy she gets from running through the field in search of pheasant. My original dog drawings have been mostly hoarded by me, although I have sold many prints in the past. I have decided to let one go for a contest. This drawing is sold..  This 8 by 10 original oil painting, titled "Nice Rack", is of a texas longhorn cow that lives in Ramona, California, my favorite nearby farm-type area. I take photos of her every time I visit. Mostly she ignores me and continues to eat grass, so I wait patiently with my camera for her to favor me with a glance! this painting is sold. |
