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.

This is a Charolais cow portrait in oil on linen. I took the photo reference for this in Ramona among the same herd of cattle as the recent painting of the Hereford cow and her Black Baldy calf.
My daughter thinks it looks like Bodacious the famous Rodeo Bull. I'm pretty sure they are from the same type of stock, but of course this is a cow, not a bull. I really loved painting the swirls and putting a lot of subtle color in.  12"x16" oil on stretched linen This painting is available, for information, click here.

My bovine filled corner of the world was busy getting ready, so I've got a few
paintings behind in listing new work! This first original oil is a Black Angus Cow and Calf. I really love how this painting looks, the sillouette style of the black cows against the rich greens really does stand out. I loved the pose of both of them in the original photo reference, taken on the left side of the road just before you hit Dudley's Bakery in Santa Ysabel going east from Ramona. If you drive out there much, you've probably seen them. Then again, maybe not, sometimes I forget that not everyone has the same cow radar as I do! The brushwork is very evident, but doesn't show up in the photograph here of the painting. I can send you closer views if you are interested.  6"x12"oil on gessoed masonite, my favorite support. The surface of this is just beautiful. This original oil painting is Sold. |
