Rachel Murphy-Studio Blog: Snowman

http://rachelmurphystudio.blogspot.com/2013/01/snowman.html

The blog of a full time artist. Http:/ www.rachelmurphystudio.com. Tuesday, January 22, 2013. This is my second year drawing this Snowman character for an upcoming festival in Rice Lake. I quickly accepted this job, assuming it would be a easy project because I was using a character I had already created. "NOT SO". The snowman was easy but drawing the spraying snow was especially difficult. It is really tricky to make something look random. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Rachel Murphy-Studio Blog: November 2011

http://rachelmurphystudio.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

The blog of a full time artist. Http:/ www.rachelmurphystudio.com. Monday, November 14, 2011. This is a 9 X 12 oil painting of a seven month old red dun filly we own. Tuesday, November 8, 2011. This plein-air I did last spring. Unfortunately oil painting has become seasonal for me. I stay very busy with caricatures in the summer / fall and have more time to paint in the winter. Below is a photo taken of me in January at a paint-out in Grand Marais MN. It was COLD! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Rachel Murphy-Studio Blog: May 2012

http://rachelmurphystudio.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

The blog of a full time artist. Http:/ www.rachelmurphystudio.com. Saturday, May 26, 2012. I finished this oil painting last week. 18" x 24". The models are horse trainer Zeek Zacharias and my mare Duchess. We trailered to their place for the photo shoot last fall. The early photos in the shoot look like Duchess had a gallon of espresso, she was wound up and nervous from being some were new. About a half an hour in she finally settled down and I got some nice shots to work from. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://rachelmurphystudio.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

The blog of a full time artist. Http:/ www.rachelmurphystudio.com. Wednesday, March 20, 2013. We have excellent cross country ski trails here in Northern WI. Last week I was out skiing with my family, it was absolutely beautiful, one breath taking view after another! The next day I packed up my easel and headed back out to the ski trail, careful to not reck the trail. A couple of skier's were very surprised to find an artist set up painting on the trail. Its not what they were expecting to see. 6 X 8 oil.

Rachel Murphy-Studio Blog: October 2012

http://rachelmurphystudio.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

The blog of a full time artist. Http:/ www.rachelmurphystudio.com. Thursday, October 18, 2012. This quick painting shows my Border Collie "Riley" trying to move the horses by nipping at their nose, usually he gets his way. The horses don't like him much. In this picture a yearling is trying to strike at him, Riley is so quick they can never get him. In the end they all get some exercise so thats a good thing. Friday, October 12, 2012.
