New Artist to Me, Jim Connelly

I was visiting in the Southwest and Western Art Forum on wetcanvas.com .  Jim Connelly
http://www.jimconnellystudio.com/artportfolio1.html
is hosting the Monthly Challenge.  His horse paintings are wonderful.  So, pop over and have a look.  Maybe join in the challenge and share your horse or donkey paintings.


I'll post a painting I did sometime back, to get you in the mood.  I called it Drinking Buddies and Gene uses the image for his home made wine label.

Drinking Buddies, Pastel, 16 x 20 inches (Private Collection in Florida)

I am not a pig person (as it were) but those pig paintings of his really appeal to me.

Bag Blog said...

I agree, Joanna, those pig pictures are very appealing. The horse paintings are very inspirational today, since I am looking for something for my students to paint.

Joanna and Bag Blog, those pigs are so neat. Caught my eye, too! They look something like Maggie Stiefvater would do. Bag Blog if not too late, he put some great photos of horses in that wetcanvas SW thread to paint.

That is the Monthly Challenge link. For some reason the links aren't showing up in blue on my new blog template. :( The links are there if you put the cursor over it.
