Moving Right Along!

The BOOT is really starting to take shape and move.

 I am so honored to have been asked to do this for the Cowgirl Up! Show

Desert Caballerous Museum, Wickenburg, Arizona

An artist knows when a piece is strong and will be stunning, 

this is one of those extraordinary pieces of art.  

This is an fun and unique experience. 

The final showing and auction will take place Saturday the 19th of March 

at the Desert Caballerous Museum, Wickenburg, Arizona

Cowgirl Up! Auction at the evening auction with the famous auctioneer, Carson Thomas.  

Everyone, get your tickets and come on out!!!

Beads are being applied, this is slow!  

As most understand with my work, the bead work takes longer, this was no exception. 

The bead work is where I
 want it and the colors are in the early layers.  

This is turning out to be a beauty!

The Boot! Rose design and size

  The reference design has been chosen and measured for size and placement.  At this stage, I am looking at the size of beads to be painted or how many! The design is penciled on to the boot, it won't be ready for color yet.

The Boot! Really.

Linen, canvas, masonite or copper, this is selected types of material I am used to painting on, however I was asked by Cowgirl Up! curator, Mary Ann Igna and Cowgirl Up! Chairwoman, Elaine Schweitzer, to paint a 47 inch high, 42 inch long  fiberglass boot for the 2016 Cowgirl Up! Auction March 19, 2016.  How could I refuse.  Yes!!  How exciting! 

Several years ago, I saw a life size horse and wanted to paint it...did not get to pursue the life size horse, Shucks.  But I got a BOOT!

Each day I will post to Facebook, Twitter, my website, www.judydurr.50megs.com,  and my blog the progress.  www.judydurr.50megs.com
