Running with the Cows

8 x 8 Oil on Gessobord

Obviously, this is not the NYC Marathon or Boston Marathon :-)  This is in the Himalayas.  It must have been disconcerting coming around the bend and seeing a cow in your path.  Especially one with horns... Loose and fun little painting.  I so love doing these!  Hope everyone out there is having a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. 

Finish Line, Half Marathon, NYC

8 x 10 Oil on Linen Board

Five Runners and one woman looking very official at the end of the recent NYC Half Marathon.  I enjoy painting on  linen boards, but have noticed that the photos I take of the paintings are not as clear or sharp as they are when photographing paintings on smooth gessoed boards.  So, this is close, but not as sharp as the original painting.  I hope you can feel the movement in this piece.  That was what I was going for...as well as capturing the exhaustion of the second woman from the left :-)  She seemed totally spent.
