Mr. Handsome’s Cow Paintings

October 11, 2019 by 8 Comments

Mr. Handsome the artist continues to spend a good portion of his spare time painting. Little Buddy loves watching Daddy work. When he was a newborn, we would lay him on a blanket right beside the easel so he could watch Daddy create his artwork. At four months old, we started putting him in a sit-me-up seat. Now, he only tolerates the seat for small amounts of time because he wants to be on the move, but he still enjoys watching Daddy paint, as long as Mommy is there to make sure he doesn’t get into anything in the studio.

Mr. Handsome spent hours on these two original cow paintings. One was for an art show, and the other was for a charity auction. We were both a little nervous at the auction because the first dozen items were beautifully decorated cakes, followed by a host of other random items and experiences. The cow was the very last item, and some of the guests had already left. We were relieved when several people put their paddles up to bid on it.

Nashville Skyline Paintings

January 6, 2019 by 38 Comments

Nashville Skyline PaintingUntil this summer, Mr. Handsome had been painting solely with oils for almost three years before starting to use acrylics. Initially, he called it “experimenting” because he expected to have many failures as he got the hang of it, but he didn’t, and even his first paintings turned out great. (If I had been the painter, the results would have been much different, let me tell you.)

Between landscapes, ships at sea, musical instruments, portraits, cows, Nashville skyline paintings, and custom dog paintings, Mr. Handsome has covered a wide variety of subjects using oils and acrylics. I don’t believe I have shared any of his Nashville skyline paintings, so I thought I would do that. At the art shows we have attended, they have been some of his most popular works. Which is your favorite?

Abstract Art with Ellie and Mr. H

November 25, 2018 by 22 Comments

Mr. Handsome has been experimenting with abstract art this fall, as different art shows have different clientele with different tastes. Last week, we spent a few late nights in his “studio” creating paintings together as a couple. (His studio is a tiny room off our garage that is devoted to his painting endeavors. It has been very handy because in our previous apartments, he has had to paint in our living room or kitchen.)

The couples painting sessions were a blast. I held a hairdryer, while Mr. Handsome dripped acrylic paint in front of the airflow to create splatters….

Impressionism and a Cow Painting

October 22, 2018 by 33 Comments

While we were in Boston, we visited the Museum of Fine Arts so Mr. Handsome could gain some inspiration for his artwork. As a hobby, he enjoys painting in oil and acrylic and has had his masterpieces displayed in quite a few art shows and venues across Nashville.

This summer, he started painting cows, and the one above is my favorite so far. We have it hanging in our kitchen, which Mr. Handsome’s brother dislikes because when he sits on our couch, he feels like it’s staring at him. I think it’s a cute cow, but it really creeps my brother-in-law out for some reason….

The Latest from Mr. Handsome

March 15, 2018 by 16 Comments

Mr. Handsome has added a new subject to his painting repertoire! He has recently started painting musical instruments and has already built up quite the gallery. He plays the guitar, banjo, and violin, as many of you know, so it has been fun to see him combine music with art.We have had his masterpieces displayed at multiple art shows in the Nashville area and have sold several. To give you an idea of what he has been up to, below are a few photos. So far, he has painted landscapes, birds, ships at sea, and now musical instruments. Stay tuned to see what he gets into next. (I’m certainly curious!)

Horse Painting

January 15, 2018 by 8 Comments

Hope your week is off to a good start. Just wanted to share a recent oil on canvas painting that Mr. Handsome did, based on the photos we took at Cades Cove during our trip to the Smoky Mountains last fall. What do you think?As always, if you are interested in purchasing any of the paintings you see here, just give me a holler (NashvilleWife@gmail.com). We have sold paintings to multiple satisfied customers, and our prices are very affordable.

Peacock Painting

November 20, 2017 by 7 Comments

It has been a while since I’ve shared one of Mr. Handsome’s paintings. Earlier this year, I showed you the flamingo that he gave me for Valentine’s Day, but I don’t believe I have posted the peacock. He gained his inspiration from a picture of a peacock with its feathers spread out that I took as a child.

During a recent visit, my father-in-law saw the flamingo and peacock paintings and told us that those were his favorites of all Mr. Handsome’s paintings. I was surprised, as I didn’t peg him as a bird lover (I expected him to choose one of the ships or country scenes), but I’m thrilled to see him enjoying Mr. Handsome’s art.

Mr. Handsome’s Ship Paintings

October 14, 2017 by 16 Comments

Mr. Handsome the painter has recently become interested in a new subject: ships. These three original ship paintings are some of his first attempts. The photos simply don’t do them justice. They are so much better in person, and they blow me out of the water every single time I look at them. No pun intended…

Rocky Mountains Paintings

August 24, 2017 by 15 Comments

Photos and details from Day 5 of our Rocky Mountain adventure (the day we drove up the Icefields Parkway and walked on a glacier that is as thick as the Eiffel Tower is tall) are coming soon. Until then, I have something else I would like to show you.On my post about Moraine Lake, I mentioned that my husband has done multiple paintings of places we visited on our trip, and I have since received requests to share those paintings with all of you…so here they are! I’ll also include the photo(s) that inspired each painting. Which is your favorite?

Bird Paintings for Mother’s Day

June 24, 2017 by 14 Comments

Having a hobbyist painter for a husband sure does come in handy when you need a gift for a friend or relative but have absolutely no idea what to give them. We planned ahead for Mother’s Day this year, and Mr. Handsome made paintings for both our mothers.For my mother, he painted two lovebirds. When I was a child, we had two pet birds that we all grew to love, so all four of us sort of became “bird people.”

For his mother, Mr. Handsome painted two yellow finches, a type of bird that she sees outside her kitchen window all the time.

If either of these paintings interest you, shoot us an email at NashvilleWife@gmail.com, and Mr. Handsome would be happy to make one for you!
