8 X 10 Oil on Canvas
SOLD Commission

Years ago I swore I would not paint bluebonnets like every other Texas oil painter. However, they were so gorgeous last year, I couldn’t resist – and of course I had to put a cow or horse in the painting. As a result I have sold nearly every one I have painted with requests for more standing in line.
This is my favorite of Ron’s cows that roam our pasture outside my studio window. This cow has had 3 pretty babies and never needs help raising them. Her horns are formidable, too, and she knows how to use them.
The lady who commissioned this painting lives in Florida and WISHES she could live in Texas. Occasionally I find myself longing for the coast – my favorite vacations as a child were on the beach – but then I look out my window and wonder why I would ever want to leave. Doesn’t make sense, does it?

I did NOT like this painting when I first posted it, but I put it up for your inspection nevertheless. It continued to mock me though. “Fix me. Fix me”. So I did. The colors were all wrong and I did not stick to my palette. 
In addition, the point of view was not consistent with the horizon. I like this one better.
Bee update:
After misty, coldness all day Monday and part of Tuesday, today has dawned bright and sunny with the bees taking off as soon as the sun hit the hive. We have situated them at the back end of the garden facing East where the sun hits the hive as soon as it’s up. I have left the collard greens even though they are way past harvest, because they are covered with yellow flowers that the local wild bees love.
They still have nothing to eat in the hive yet, so per Pete’s instruction, I attached a quart jar feeder on the front filled with a 50% sugar water solution. They have consumed half of it already.
While watching them yesterday, I observed them defending the hive from an enemy (not me!). I have read that other bees and insects and even mammals will try and steal honey which is one reason to keep the opening into the hive small – easier for them to defend.
While observing them coming and going yesterday afternoon, I saw a sudden “commotion” just inside the opening and suddenly a group of 6 or 8 bees squeezed out with a insect that looked like a bee but darker and slightly bigger clenched in the middle. 
Several bees quickly stung the intruder and dumped him over the landing edge. Bees can only sting once and they die because they leave their stinger in their victim, so those bees died defending their home. Such heroics! I could make an analogy with our military folks, but I think that’s unnecessary – I tell every person I see in uniform that they are my hero…
Isaiah 5:21-23 (New International Version)
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
and clever in their own sight.
22 Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine
and champions at mixing drinks,
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe,
but deny justice to the innocent.

It’s spring and the cows are hungry after a long winter (I’m pretending, all right!?). I’ve never seen them eat bluebonnets, but they must, because the flowers rarely thrive in pastures with cows in them. So the answer is YES!
For over 10 years we’ve had bluebonnets growing down our driveway that bisects the pasture. The grassy area on both sides are solid flowers in some areas, and I can see tiny little plantlets emerging all winter – and in the pasture on the other side of the fence, too. But they never blossom there – so either they get trampled or eaten, and I suspect the latter.
I know many flowers are edible for humans – I have personally eaten nasturtiums, violas and pansies. I cannot, however, find bluebonnets (lupines) on a list. Although I have been known to sample wild things and pray for the best, I think I’ll pass the bluebonnets….

So many longhorns – so little time. There are near as many longhorns in Texas as there are horses and most of them seem to belong to UT alumni! This one doesn’t though. In actuality, he belongs to a friend of mine who has owned him for over 15 years and had him trained to be ridden. When she first had him saddlebroke, I was doing goofy advertising for a business we owned, and she offered to let me ride him for a photo-op.
Never one to back down from a chance to try something new, I said, “Great!” A cutting horse, he wasn’t, but docile and willing, he was. A nose ring acted as the main steering mechanism, and even though I felt as if I was falling downhill the whole time, it really was fun!
Durango is a lot bigger now (and so are his horns), but he’s still a gentle giant and as well cared for as any loved pet. And in my opinion a LOT better looking than the current UT mascot!

Immediately following the GREAT UT-Nebraska game, my blog had 7 viewers in a row searching for paintings of the University of Texas mascot, and this painting is a brazen result of those searches! Thank goodness I enjoy painting long horned cattle!
Since I mostly paint from my own photos or with permission from other photographers, AND I didn’t have a personal photo of Bevo, this was a challenge. Since there are plenty of photos of Bevo on the internet, I used one of my neighbor’s bull bodies and put Bevo’s spots on him. They are far from perfect, but I think he’s close enough.
This painting should be dry enough in time for Christmas – barely.

TEXAS MADE RED CEDAR FRAME
I have a service installed on my blog that shows the people that visit, what country they live in, how they arrived on my blog and what search words they use. A number of people search for paintings of Longhorns, and I sell nearly every one I paint. I guess there are a lot of UT fans out there!
So this little painting is a blatant admission that I could use a little cash added to my PayPal account! When it dries a bit, I will show the frame, as well. But you can trust that it fits this little painting to a “T” and makes it a nice gift to give that University of Texas fan OR to just keep for yourself!

I hope my brother doesn’t see the title of this painting. He and I (and my son and husband) are all Texas Tech Red Raiders and the University of Texas is an arch rival. But I have mellowed in my old age – after all, my son-in-law is an Aggie and my daughter graduated from Tarleton, a member of the A & M system. None of those schools have a mascot that is as much fun to paint as a longhorn, though. At least in my opinion!
The model for this one belongs to a neighbor and he was an award winner in his prime – both in body conformation and horn growth. Lonnie actually owns several longhorn steers as well as a bull and a number of cows. People in Texas keep longhorn steers just because, and they don’t feel the need to explain it any further. Some folks seem compelled to collect one of every color – which is probably impossible since there is a huge variety!

Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

Here’s the next installment of sketches. I have a free day today, so I’m trying to get several sketches finished. I need to do 32, more or less…. I’ll probably do a little refining as I go along but these are the first drafts.
