One Ranger's Wife

It's done! It's done!

Did I mention it is done?

30x20 oil on realgesso panel.

This is Shirley Jackson, and the title I refer to there is what is inscribed around the Ranger's star on her necklace. Her husband, Joquin just came out with his book entitled "One Ranger" and I can honestly say it is fabulous - real old west hero-stuff in modern times. I know it's on Amazon and they will have a website soon also.

The photos have some glare, and I don't have the contrast exact, but it's close.

Thanks Terri! I dont know - they are interviewing him (not her) for his book, so even if it gets in a shot it is not as if my name would be mentioned. The likelihood of my signature showing is about zero-percent. I'm just not sure it is worth putting it over there wet. If I wait and deliver it Saturday his sister will be there - who he says might be interested in a portrait ...so that may actually translate into something worthwhile...

Kim,

This one really makes me smile. It's such an unusually cool pose and composition. I like the delightfully warm palette you chose. It really has that "southwestern" feel to it. The masonry work in that arched walkway is tastefully rendered. The play of light is excellent.

This interesting and lovely woman appears to be an individual anyone would like to just sit and have a cool beverage with outside under an umbrella discussing any and everything.

Kim, you rock. The way you handled the face in shadow gets

Good luck with getting it shown on TV. Let us know what happens.

Many congratulations, Kimberly! It's no wonder the clients are crazy about this- it turned out fantastic

!

Only problem is I can't seem to get the Kimberly Dow Channel on my cable subscription.

Thank you!

Left the Northeast behind?! No way - I'll always be a Yankee thank you very much. Don't let the hat fool you missy. Seriously - doing the southwest style thing has got to help considering this is where I live. And because it isnt a natural clothing or taste style for me - it is actually kind of a kick to paint! It feels like I am painting costumes.

I'm thinking I'm going to make a canvas print of this one to keep as a sample maybe.

I wont get paid until I deliver it Saturday, but I dont anticipate any problems. But - HEY - thanks for putting that thought in my head!

I also like the color harmony and attitude on this one. How did you like working on the panel?
