Hawaii, Mountain Landscape,Kauai,Waterfall, Digital Art "WAIMEA CANYON " by Colorado Artist Nancee Jean Busse

This digital painting required 18,883 strokes and 14 hours. Waimea Canyon is on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. The color of the canyon walls reminds me of the canyon colors of western Colorado, which is my home. The contrast is the climate: the lush foliage and humidity on the island of Kauai is lovely! And this viewpoint of Waimea Canyon is an iconic one.

Folklore Art,Colorful Contemporary Wildlife Art Painting, “WHEN COYOTE WAS BLUE" by Colorado Artist Nancee Jean Busse, Painter of the American West

 

This is the 6th painting in my Native American Tales series. Each one depicts an animal that plays the starring role in a piece of animal folklore. Some stories resonate with strong visual imagery and those are the ones I want to paint. All I could find of this tale was a couple of sentences and no tribe of origin. But the picture that it created in my head was unforgettable. So I adapted and retold the story below, according to my interpretation. Prints are available. I'm hanging on to the originals for now while I finish out the series.

Folklore Art,Contemporary Western Art ,Equine Painting "SITTING BULL'S DANCING HORSE" by Colorado Landscape Artist Nancee Jean Busse

 

In the 1880s Sitting Bull joined Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. He traveled all over the country and saw many things, but wearied of the white man’s ways. He went back to the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota to be with his Hunkpapa people. Before he left the Wild West Show, Buffalo Bill gifted him with his favorite show horse which could do many tricks.

After returning to the Reservation, Sitting Bull became the center of the Ghost Dance movement, which the white men thought was the signal for a great uprising. The Ghost Dance Movement was really a religion of despair. It gave hope to people who had been deprived of their land, their food sources, and their connection to their own ancestry.

 On a winter day in 1890 43 Indian police were sent to arrest Sitting Bull for his involvement in the Ghost Dance Movement. When they dragged him out of his teepee a commotion began, and when it was over 15 people lay dead or dying, among them Sitting Bull.

When Sitting Bull’s dancing horse heard the battle, it thought it was back in the circus at the Wild West Show. It began dancing and prancing and raising up on its back legs, bowing and curtsying and doing all of the tricks it had been taught. All who witnessed this thought that the horse was possessed because it danced through a hail of bullets and was never hit. The horse still danced for a while after the massacre ended and until the scene was silent. It had honored its master in the only way it knew.

Folklore, Raven Painting "Why Raven is Black" by Painter of the American West Nancee Jean Busse

 

 This painting is the 5th painting in a series inspired by Native American legends.
 These works bring me back to my illustration roots. I love painting the visual imagery of a    colorful narrative.

 Native American legends are colorful and full of life and the natural world.
 I paint these uniformly: all are the 36x24 and all are painted on Yupo mounted to gatorboard.  I love indulging my love of detail and "close work.


 The legend that inspired this painting is retold  HERE

Illustrative Art, Birds “Yes, You Too are an Odd Bird- Poster” by Nancee Jean Busse

 

Well now here's a surprise. You have to admit, though, it did take some hubris to spend an enormous amount of time creating useless postage stamps. Of cartoon birds. But, one cold and rainy evening, I curled up with my cup of Earl Gray and my sketchbook and started to draw bright, happy, colorful birds. Before I knew it, I had SCORES of them. Each one made me smile. After I had this great abundance of happy birds, I decided to digitize them. By using my iPad Pro and a kick-ass app called Procreate, I had just as much fun recreating them digitally as I did when I rendered them on paper. The result was this crazy-fun poster meant to emulate a sheet of commemorative postage stamps. Stick a fork in me; I'm done drawing nutty birds for a bit.

Equine Painting “HEARTBREAKER" by Painter of the American West, Nancee Jean Busse

FRESH OFF THE EASEL

The Heartbreaker is a painting that tells a story about wanderlust. Somewhere in the tale is a heartbroken woman, a warm fire, a dry stable, and good rations for all. But that's not the direction in which our cowboy and his reluctant pony are headed, is it?

Still Life Flower Painting "Glad" by Colorado Artist Nancee Jean Busse, Painter of the American West

I belong to a local CSA, an organic cooperative farm in my community. Not only do we receive a share of delicious produce each week, we get flowers, too! These gorgeous, elegant gladiolas graced my home for just under a week. I had to paint them! I painted this still life in warm, summertime sunset colors.

Still Life Floral Painting, Flower Art "Radiant Orchid" by Colorado Artist Nancee Jean Busse

 

It's spring! I wanted to paint flowers; just for the joy of painting color. And just for fun, I wanted to use the Pantone Color of the Year for 2015: Radiant Orchid. I loved the color and loved the idea of incorporating such a rich, vibrant shade into a still life.

Digital Art, Digital Painting, Botanical, "Cactus" by Colorado Artist Nancee Jean Busse

 

I saw, and photographed, this amazing, weathered cactus at the Na Aina Kai Botanical Garden on the island of Kauai. When I choose a botanical for a painting, I typically choose something that is compelling because of its complexity, beauty, and/or sexiness. My digital paintings take time and patience, allowing me to abide for a time with each plant I paint. This painting took over 70 hours to complete and over 43,000 strokes.    Because this was painted digitally, it can be reproduced at any proportionate size up to 23.5” x 30”. It will look beautiful printed on paper, canvas, or metal. Contact me and we can discuss which option will work the best for you.
