Dingers Final Chapter

And to catch up on the recent happenings - an update on the "Dinger Daughters" who's true title should be "Weathering the Storm". I orig. started this creation as a commission; however, the clients decided to go with a smaller size. I redid this picture to thier standards and was also inspired to do a new piece from the same two models... Pictured below is the orig. large piece, the smaller remake, the first print from the large one, and the "sun/moon" inspired one called "Like Day and Night"... and myself *rolling eyes* The great news is that I have kept the print for myself, the client has their mini orig., and the large orig. and sun/moon piece are now property of The Butler Longhorn Museum. This museum is the largest collection of all things longhorn and a truely awesome place with the best people, they are always a pleasure to work with and I'm glad that they are getting back on their feet after Gustov delt them a hard blow. They have my very first colored pencil piece and my work is in wonderful company there : http://butlerlonghornmuseumandheritagepark.com/

Wowzers!!!!! You actually updated Brandy!!

Congrats on the big sale, and for unloading ..... er .... I mean selling....... the two girls. I know you're relieved about that!

I do have one question though. I noticed the sky (clouds) in teh print are a different color than in the original. I'm wondering why, caise your original has beautiful coloring in the sky/clouds.

Brandy said...

Thank You very much - all 5 of you :o

I know, I have been very very lax on "blog care"

I am really, really hoping to stay on this a bit better from now own *blushing

(aaannnddd - I've been holding normal opperating hrs for a week! *eek)

Hey Debbie - long time no see :)

Brandy said...

oh - and the print, it was ALMOST the same colors of the orig. There is a bit more red in the print (those reds are sooo hard to work with!)

For the most part I'd say that about 1/2 of that off looking color is camera problems on my end and the other little bit left is actual difference in the print from the orig.

...if that makes any sense! lol

I love the idea of a longhorn museum!! And it would be no surprise to me that your work would be there ;-)

Brandy said...

Thank You Cindy - I have been to a couple of western/horn collecting type museums that have a small portion dedicated to the cattle, but this is the first one that I know of specifically for them.

Hubby's vacation will soon start and we're hoping to get the time to go down and look around the place (it is already "unofficially open")
