enormous handsome heifer

Yes, you have seen this heifer before. The original 6" x 6" went home with someone last Saturday. I am participating in a three day show in Nashville in three weeks so I decided to paint him three feet by three feet. Can you imagine how big I would have to paint him if I was doing a show in Texas? Sold a lot of my cows so happy to get to paint some again. One of my favorite things to paint. I think I am finished with this guy. Will check him out with fresh eyes tomorrow.sold

  8. If you were to do this one in Texas, it'd have to cbe AT LEAST 6x6! Love the colors. Maybe bring a bit more color into his highlights?

  12. It is obvious that you do large paintings as well as your smaller ones. It is a matter of placing more paint out on the palette....Wonderful cow! Have a good time at your show.

  13. Wow that is a big cow, quite a jump from 6" x 6"
    must have been quite daunting! Love all your animal paintings, that old english sheep dog is a sweety too.
