Texas Star, the Lone Star State Flag by Judy Mackey

"Texas Star"

20" x  20" x 1.5", Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas
Currently on display at The Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, TX.

Received a phone call late last night from the Gallery that the Texas Star flag painting is out on "loan" to a prospective buyer who will see if the painting will fit in their spaces.  Fingers crossed.

I suppose this is good business practice and galleries who have good relationships with their collectors will sometimes let the collector take it home to see how the painting will do in their homes/offices/lighting/spaces etc.  This may lead to a sale of course but the best part of it is that the buyer will then be a very satisfied buyer. 

I painted a couple of Texas flags in this manner.  It isn't meant to be a torn flag but rather an unfinished painting of just the center of the flag in a rippled, shadowy look with the edges fading into a black background.

Keep your fingers crossed ♥

My first try at this sort of loose, almost abstract painting of the Texas flag turned out so well that I had to try it again.  The first one, "Lone Star" is on exhibit from Mar 2 to April 17th at the Grapevine Convention and Visitors Bureau on Main Street in Grapevine, TX as part of the Grapevine Art Project's 2013 Juried Art and Sales event.  Stop by the Convention and Visitor's Bureau if you're visiting Grapevine to see over 100 works by local artists.

Lone Star Flag

"Lone Star"

24" x  24" x 1.5", Oil on Stretched Canvas

I loved painting the U.S. flag so I thought I'd do the Texas Flag - I didn't paint to the edges and let it fade to the black that I pre-painted the canvas with - I like the way this turned out and may try a few more like this.

Grapevine, Texas

If you're familiar with Grapevine, Texas and have driven on Dove Road, maybe you've seen Yates Corner Groc. on the intersection of Kimball. It is such a familiar sight that I've been meaning to paint it. The best time to capture it is during the morning hours as the grocery faces East.

"Yates Corner Groc." 5 x 7" Oil on Board.

I thought a local landmark might be nice for the New Vintage Wine Trail and Gallery Show I will be in this Saturday, April 19th in the Lancaster Theater in Grapevine, Texas.

Fort Worth Stockyards

Friends from Italy are visiting and staying with us. We took them to see local sights at the Fort Worth Stockyards.

There's a lot to see and it gives that Old West flavor.

Here are a few photos from the day: Magnificent Horns on a Longhorn, a cowboy on a horse and a Harley rider...
