Cowboys out on the trail, up in the high country. They stopped for a break and a bite to eat, and now must get back in the saddle and move out before it gets too late in the day. One rides a Paint, the other an Appaloosa and the other, who is in places unknown, rides a Buckskin.

Last week, Friday to be specific, I started another watercolor. This one is “Best seat in the house”. I have a few updates in progress here.
This painting is in the area of 14 x 15. I’m not sure on that size. I will have to measure it again.
This image depicts a Cowgirl atop an Appaloosa Horse, looking out over the vast valley that lay before her. The sun is starting to set behind her, which offers a wonderful glow upon her and her horse.
I had a fun surprise the other day. I learned that this Blog is ranked on Facebook as being in the Top 50 Artist Networked Blogs! This Blog is number 38 in the list! Take a look on Facebook

I’ve been working on this Western themed Watercolor since last weekend. I have three installments here of the progress so far. The image size is 15 x 12 inches. The image above is where I left off today, the third installment. I worked mostly on the clouds and the rocks in the foreground. I also added in a little color to the man on the far left.
This is the second installment of working on this painting. I worked up the rocks and dirt, and horses.I also worked on the man in the center of the painting.
This is the first installment. I started with getting the sky and clouds placed and the base colors. Then I worked on getting the colors adjusted on the horses and the ground and the clothing on the man in the middle. This is all base, underpainting.

“American honey” 12 x 13 Watercolor $1,200.00 Inquiries may come to my email at debflood@debfloodart.com thank you.
Happy March! It’s typical March weather here. Heavy winds, rain, snow, rain, but it still has a Spring feel to it. I finished ‘American honey’. This painting will be saved out for Western Exhibit venues. I’m getting very anxious for the Sedona 2011 Gallery exhibit. A few more artists have been added to the roster. Some really, really nice stuff! I’m so honored to be invited to participate in this exhibit. I’ve started another Western scene watercolor. I’ve posted the start of that on my facebook fan page.
Have a great creative day!Debbie

“Hold the storm at bay” 10 x 15 Watercolor, $1,200.00 inquiries may come to my email at debflood@debfloodart.com thanks.
I finally finished this painting and got it photographed. We’ve been having a lot of rain and cloudy days here in Maine and that makes for bad lighting for photographing in the studio. But I’m able to paint just fine!

Hi, This has been an interesting week. The kids are home on school vacation. And as I said Monday, Tuesday was a full day and I didn’t get to the studio. Yesterday was a pull my hair out day…ha ha. I took some video of my studio and some paintings. The idea was to post them on my Facebook fan page. Well, needless to say, I was most all day, video taping and then fighting with facebook and the computer to load them up. Which didn’t happen. Facebook had other ideas.
So today I worked on this painting. I had part of the leg wrap in front of the person’s leg and touching the ground, in previous images. The more I worked with it, the more it really didn’t look like anything and it was creating a problem. It was just too much going on in that area. So, I took it out. I like this a lot better. It’s more simple in that area, yet we can still see and know what is going on. I stopped there to let the paper dry before I go into it again and finish up the pant leg and a boot.
I also started work today on the winning 8 x 10 Graphite from my facebook fan page contest. I’ve posted that progress on the fan page.
I hope your week is going well, and you are storm free with warm temps, like here in Maine! Almost 50 here today! Come on Spring!I’m sure it is making the horse people want to get out and ride!
Hopefully, I’ll be talking with you tomorrow,DebbieDebbie Flood, Artist. Equine, Wildlife, and the natural world.

Family Flight, Common Eider, Sea Ducks 8 x 10 Watercolor
‘Puffin flight’ Off of Eastern Egg Rock, Maine 8 x 10 Watercolor
‘Residents of Eastern Egg Rock, Puffin & Hooded Gull, 8 x 10 Watercolor
I have completed three 8 x 10 Watercolors of Seabirds. Two are of Puffins and the other of the Common Eider, Sea duck. I noticed a call to artists from the Project Puffin. They are going to have a Summer Exhibit of the art and 50% of sales goes to the Puffin Project. This project reintroduced the Puffin to Eastern Egg Rock and Seal Island off the coast of Maine. I was there in the beginning of launching this program. I was one of the founding members of a Wildlife Carving and Art Association, The Penobscot Bay Carvers and Artists Association, who carved Decoys for this project. Many of the Wildlife Carvers created Puffin decoys for this project in it’s beginning to reintroduce the Puffin to the Maine waters. So I feel very honored to have been there to watch those Decoys being carved and painted to be placed out on the small Rocky Islands off the coast of Maine.Last Summer I was fortunate enough to go out on a boat tour to Eastern Egg Rock and see the Puffins first hand! I have a lot of photographs from that trip. When I saw the call to artists, I just had to create some works for this project! I feel very connected to the Puffins who live out there.

Here is more work on the Western scene “Hold the storm at bay”, Watercolor. I’ve gone in and darkened the sky more. I’ve also added some little dust devils blowing up from the wind on the ground. I also started adding dark colors to the horse’s tail to the left of the painting.

This is the progress so far on “Hold the storm at bay” watercolor.
I just started this watercolor February 11. I realized that I needed 12 Equine Paintings for all the exhibits this year. So, I’ve been getting busy creating new works.I’m really loving the colors I’ve got going on in this one. That late in the day summer storm approaching and the cowgirl hurrying to get the equipment off the horses before it rains.

“His Royalty” 8 x 10 image size, Graphite. $95.00. Inquiries may come to my email at debflood@debfloodart.com thank you I worked on two watercolors today. They both have been works in progress for awhile now. But I wanted something else to play with too. I was browsing through my images and found this Friesian with rider in costume, that my mother had taken the photo of down in Florida, a couple years ago. So I slapped down the paper, hauled out my Graphite pencils and away I went. I have recently been chatting with another artist that I met online and the subject of Zorro came up, and the Friesian horse, so I will dedicate this painting to my new artist friend! This reminded me of that conversation.
Have a great rest of your day!DebbieDebbie Flood, Artist. Equine, Wildlife, and the natural world.
