Original Still Life Lily Painting by "Lilies on the Windowsill" Colorado Artist Nancee Jean Busse

 

When I buy fresh flowers I place them into a clear vase of some kind and photograph them in a variety of settings. i love the way the stems look through the glass and water. I love to discover where the light refracts, and how the light streams through the delicate petals. When I looked at the photos of this arrangement, I was pleased to see all of the purples and magentas and how the light shafted through the bouquet in places.

Native American Legend, Bison Art Painting "How The Bison Got His Hump" by Nancee Jean Busse, Painter of the American West

 

Western Wildlife,Contemporary Bison painting

I’m currently completing a series of 6 paintings based on Native American legends. 

 This painting is based on the legend: How the Bison Got His Hump. Here’s my retelling:

 In the beginning days, the bison didn’t have a hump. He was fast and sleek and ran across the prairie having so much fun that he cared for nothing else. He didn’t notice (or didn’t care about) any small creature that got in his way. He trampled the birds and their fragile nests, he trampled the field mice, and the squirrels, and the foxes, and the rabbits. He crushed the flowers and the tender leaves that fed the prairie creatures. All of the creatures begged him to stay away, but Bison didn’t listen to them. He was having too much fun!

The birds and other small animals cried so loud that Great Mother heard them. She ran ahead of Bison and said, “You should be ashamed of yourself!” She hit him on the back with a stick, and Bison hunched up his shoulders and lowered his big head, to ward off another blow. But Great Mother didn’t hit him again. She said, “From now on you will always have a hump on your back and you will always carry your head low because of your shame.”

So this is why Bison has a hump, and why sometimes you see a happy bird or two on the back of a bison.

Original Still Life Floral Painting "Under the Surface" by Colorado Artist Nancee Jean Busse

 

                                 

I belong to local CSA. When we pick up our weekly allotment of produce, sometimes we are allowed to pick a bouquet of flowers from an unruly patch of Colorado wildflowers. I gathered this armful of blooms, brought them home, and placed them in a plain glass vase and put them on my windowsill. I loved them! The star of the show for me, though, was how beautiful and delicate the stems under the water’s surface looked. The background is a series of glazes, all whites, off-whites, beiges, pale pinks, and browns. The flowers are, well… flowers. This painting received an honorable mention in the Artist’s Magazine annual competition: 7800 entries–18 winners. Even though the original sold fairly quickly, the prints are wonderful!

 Artist enhanced Giccle Prints are available.

Ada Looks Her Best was inspired by a friend who made the brave decision to find love by getting online and scheduling 30 dates, with 30 different men, in 30 days. What a warrior. And guess what? She found LOVE.

Original Colorado Landscape Oil Painting, Western Landscape "The Old Loading Dock" by Colorado Artist Nancee Jean Busse

 

                             



When my husband and I bought our home this old loading dock was left on the property. For us, it’s a symbol of the days when it was still a working ranch. The hills behind it change their disposition and color throughout the day. This painting shows the land in midsummer glory.

Original Western Landscape Painting "Working The Release Pen" by Artist Nancee Jean Busse, Painter of the American West

 

                    

 A few years ago I was given permission to photograph the sheep handlers working the release pen at the Meeker International Sheepdog Trials. It was fascinating! I watched as the border collies and cowboys and horses wrangled the unruly Meeker sheep, gathering them, penning them, and releasing them for each sheepdog participating in the trials. Working the Release Pen won the People’s Choice award at the 2006 Meeker Classic International Art Contest.
