Coyote, Oil Painting

2023

Artist Comments
A curious coyote shows interest in a red ball on the ground. Its speckled fur complements the visual texture of the background. With multiple layers of oil paint, the artwork gains a distinct character, allowing underlying colors to peek through the surface. The simplicity of the rendition invites open interpretation.

About the Artist
Artist Jaime Ellsworth offers charming portrayals of animals, depicting both the familiar inhabitants of her corral and those rarely seen on San Juan Island in the Pacific Northwest. "My career as a cowhand never took off, so I am glad I stumbled into art, as it still complements my passion," says Jaime. In each of her works, Jaime invites the viewer to appreciate the image's simplicity and encourages them to explore beyond the details, prompting their imagination. Alongside the straightforward shapes, her compositions convey a sense of narrative through the expressions and movements of the figures. Jaime works in her studio attached to a small barn, where her dogs, donkeys, and horses keep her company while she paints. Beyond painting, Jaime explores the outdoors with her pets and volunteers to aid animals locally and internationally.
