Does and Fawns for sale as artist reference.

I've uploaded a gallery onto my Smug Mug site, of does and fawns. This fawn got up and stretched, as we sat watching her. They're so cute wearing their baby clothes of spots! In the gallery, there are also photos of this fawns mother, she's a beautiful doe.

These photos are available for purchase as artist reference, see details in the side bar.

Buffalo Cow and calf, for sale as reference photo to artists.

This momma and her baby live on the Rocky Mountain Front. I like watching the bison herd as it moves across the pasture. The interaction between the animals is pretty amazing.

This could be your next great painting!

A gorgeous dame. Cow photo.

Order # DSC_0092.jpg

The large photo version of this cow is awash with afternoon light and she shines! This cow is walking with purpose, you can see it in her face and movements. The wind is ruffling her long hair, and her eyes are bright and focused.

She'd make your next painting great!

Palomino horse, sleeping in sun, saddled, tied to hitching post.

Order # DSC_7918 Available as a limited exclusive. 4288X2848, uncropped, 300dpi. (Meaning I reserve rights to this photo, but will remove it from my site for sale to any other artist as a reference photo.)

We had the extreme good fortune this fall, to do a photo shoot of an outfitter packing about 20 mules and horses for a trip into the Bob Marshall.

This gorgeous palomino stood tied to the hitching post, sleeping, while he waited to lead a packstring onto the trail.

Oh the painting he'd make! He's so luscious, if no one speaks up, to claim him, I might have to paint him myself! He's the color of molten gold, and the way the sunlight plays across his hide, is creamy and rich.

Mark-Follow this blog to see more of the packing photos that I'll be uploading. Or subscribe to the rss feed to have this blog delivered to you. That way, you won't miss the photo that leads to your next great painting!

Photo of two mule deer bucks, antlers, artist reference.

Order # DSC_9983.jpg

I've cropped these mule deer bucks from a photo that also contains a grouping of this herd. The deer were a long way away, but there's enough detail in this photo to create a painting.

With the groupings of deer, you could create more than one painting from this reference photo. There are does in the remaining part of the photo, with a buck behind them.

Photo of palomino foal and friend. Artist reference.

Order # DSC_0053.jpg

I've cropped these foals out of a larger photo. The section they're in is 1920X2068 pixels so there's plenty of room there for detail.

I thought the soft light on these guys would be perfect for a pastel painting. Or perhaps a loose and happy watercolor?

Photo of horses on a windy day, western landscape.

Order # DSC_007.jpg

We went to lunch today, to celebrate our anniversary, which was yesterday, and saw this scene along the way.

This time of year, on a windy, stormy, day, the colors are so deep and rich. I love western landscapes like this, where the horses are part of the land.

My photos are priced at $20 apiece. I chose that reasonable price so beginning artists would have as much chance to use these photos as established artists. The jpg of this photo is 4288X2000 something. The horses are clear enough to be included in the painting.
