Landscape Oil Painting, Sunset Art “A New Dawn; A New Day” by Colorado Artist Nancee Jean Busse

 

The summer of 2020 was a smoky one. The American West was ablaze for most of the season. We watched the Pine Gulch fire from our home: thick, billowing clouds rising high in the sky, flattening out, and spreading to cover the sky of the Grand Valley. We lived in hot, dry, smelly, and gray world for weeks. When the smoke began to clear the pyrotechnics were limited to spectacular sunsets; explosions of color as the sun set and changed angles behind the clouds. I photographed many spectacular sunsets during the summer of 2020. This one was one of my favorites and begged to be painted.

Contemporary Wildlife Bird Painting "Fly North" by Colorado Artist Nancee Jean Busse, Painter of the American West

                            

Recently I painted several pieces for a show with a sandhill crane theme. I've painted many realistic images of the sandhills and for this show I allowed myself to create a few fanciful pieces; ones that relied more on my imagination that my photo references. What is it that signals birds to migrate? Most likely the length of daylight signals birds to flock and migrate. But in my flight of fancy I allowed myself to create a world where the birds are beckoned north or south by the activity of the humans who inhabit the planet with them. Maybe it's the sound of a combine, or the smell of freshly harvested crops, or the sound of a school bus chugging up the road. In this painting the cranes watch over us as they fly north to their summer haunts.

Contemporary Western Landscape Sheepdog Painting "Maybe Next Year" by Artist Nancee Jean Busse, Painter of the American West

When handlers attend Meeker Sheepdog Trials, the sometimes bring their border collies who aren't competing in the event. A few years ago I watched this pup sit obediently on the sidelines while her owner competed with another dog. I imagine that dog will compete some day at the big event.
