Dead Man's Hand
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
A class project in college dictated that we experiment with pointillism, creating an image out of dots.
Most of the other students chose far less violent subject matter than I did with this painting of the infamous "Dead Man's Hand" that Hickock was holding when he was shot in Deadwood.
In fact, when I put my painting up for display, the looks on the faces of some of the more urban students was priceless.
"A gun? Geez."
Personally, I thought this made better subject matter than the guy who painted himself naked on his bike did, but that's just me.
Materials: Acrylic on paper
Size: 8" X 10"
Other: Shipped with metal frame, no glass or mat
Price: SOLD
Labels: illustrations, paintings, sold, still life, western

Quick Draw

Reach for the sky!
Yeah.
I'll quit with that.
Anyway, this is one of the paintings that go along with a rather haphazard series of cowboy-themed paintings.
The colors are bright and rich, the brush strokes thick and noticeable.
Personally? I think they're a lot of fun, and among my favorite pieces.
Materials: Acrylic on BFK Rives paper
Size: 8" X 22"
Other: Shipped without frame or mat
Price: $100
Labels: figurative, paintings, western, whimsical

Star Cowboys
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
This is one of my favorite paintings. The subject matter seemed to materialize randomly: two cowboys emerging from the bottom of the painting, seemingly with the goal of not riding off into the sunset, but riding off into the stars. Of course, the ever-present saloon is just off to the side, but they don't seem distracted by the watering hole.
In terms of style and method, the acrylic paint has been applied thickly in areas with the brush strokes and unmixed paint creating visible and tactile texture.
The spots and "stars" were created through a process I began developing involving various acrylic mediums, water spray and literal scrubbing of the painting surface with a cotton rag. It is a subtractive process that relies upon a good underpainting foundation.
There are a few other paintings that accompany this one, though they might not seem to be related in subject matter. I had considered using these (and other illustrations that I have yet to complete) for a book. Though I'm not sure I'll still do that, this painting would have been the cover of the book.
Materials: Acrylic on BFK Rives paper
Size: About 21.75" X 22"
Other: Shipped without frame or mat
Price: $250
Labels: illustrations, paintings, western, whimsical
