This is a public sculpture of Bill Pickett, a famous black cowboy. It is mounted to a downtown sidewalk in Taylor, TX. This is a historical piece where I had to reference old pictures to recreate his likeness. I even used a relative as a model study for many different angles and details dealing with form and proportions. I even had to research the type of clothes, spurs, and cowboy hat Pickett used for his era.
Paintings by Adam Davenport.
This is a painting that I focused entirely on the use color and value. A sunset or sunrise is a perfect challenge in capturing the subtle changes in light thru a very wide range of colors and intensity. With this painting, I had to make a small color study as a road map to follow by. This helps out tremendously with large scale paintings. This helps with not guessing color choices and allows for working the entire painting.

I went plein air painting in Iceland in 2017. I focused on color studies during the trip. I handmade a travel friendly drying box for my oil studies. I used the studies as references back in the studio where I entirely used palette knives to create this painting. I sculpted the surface to create the forms of the rocks, water, etc. The act of painting from life gives a visual memory to draw upon later while back in the studio.
