Lucile…

Visions of Kenny Rogers with four hungry children (or “400 children”- how I sang it as a child) kept dancing in my head as I painted this last bovine beauty. I love the golden tones in contrast with the cool purples that you can enhance when painting white-faced cows.

I have been working the past few months on some commissions…a cat, a car, and some cows (of course). Next, I will post three LARGE girls (cows) that can be found in Franklin, TN at Gallery 202… I just bid them farewell this morning. Little sad to see them go, but I will show them off to you real soon.

Carmen

Carmen - by Cari Humphry 20x24

I scored a terrific shot of this bovine from an editor for the Arkansas Cattlemen’s Association. I love the smokey atmosphere and the blue-gray is a nice compliment with the burnt sienna of the cow.

Callie’s Nest

Callie's Nest - Original Painting by Cari Humphry

This is a custom painting that I just varnished over the weekend. The client wanted loose and impressionistic strokes, but other than that she gave me free reign (which is preferred, of course)! I have painted some nests using this color combination before, but never in this composition and scale. This painting is 30″ wide and 12″ tall. I hope she is pleased…

Waiting for Dawn

Waiting for Dawn - Original Painting by Cari Humphry 12x30

Water can be challenging, but also rewarding to paint. My favorite part of this composition is the emerging light on the water and the tips of the seaside city. I especially enjoy the orange and blue contrast in this painting.  I painted this on a museum wrapped canvas (2.5 inches thick) with the painting conituning around the edges. Hope you enjoy!

Betty

Betty - 30x48 - Original Cow Painting by Cari Humphry

Have I mentioned I that I love to paint cows? …. 🙂 I just finished this girl up on Monday evening or actually it was probably early Tuesday morning- about 2 am. I love this angle, it reminds me of my late grandmother (in a good way). She was red-headed and often had this particular look on her face. The scale of this painting makes it a lot of fun, too- the cow head is life-size or larger. Hope you enjoy!
