Interview with Kevin Webster - How do you decide what to paint?

How do you decide what to paint?

I look for animals that will make an interesting composition. I believe that less is more in a painting and I find interest in capturing shadows in a painting.

Q & A with Deborah Grayson Lincoln Part 2

Where do you get your inspiration?

From stuff around me. Since I live in Texas, in the country, I am surrounded by horses, and cows and cowboys. When we travel in the RV I get new inspiration from the countryside - mountains and lakes, wildlife, farms and old equipment, barns, etc.

September's featured artist: Deborah Grayson Lincoln

Deborah Grayson Lincoln is this month's featured artist on Cow Art and More. Her Texas ranch full of horses and cattle serve as the inspiration for her original oil paintings. She obtained an art degree in college, but temporarily left painting while enjoying the joys and challenges of raising a family. She was able to pick up her painting again in 2005 and has enjoyed experimenting with her style.

Q & A with Victoria Whorley: Part 9

Do you ever have goof-ups or work you don't like?

Goof-ups are a normal part of painting. Some can be fixed easily; some not so easily. Other paintings just aren't liked for any of several reasons; usually because I feel I didn't portray enough detail.
