spring


I guess I am in my cow period. I saw this beauty in a field of high grass and flowers. Love spring with all the new leaves, flowers and green grass. Sorry about you folks who are still having winter. Won't be long now.
I am headed to New Orleans to visit with my son so I bet I will return with new ideas. Maybe no more cows for a bit.
I painted this cow on an 11 x 14" linen canvas. It is very cloudy out today so I am not sure this photo does the painting justice.sold

  4. I bet he's enjoying that lush grass, he seems to be looking very happy to me, Like the loose way you paint a hard thing to achieve.

  6. I love the way the cows try to get a bead on what WE're up to when we're looking at them! I like the off-center composition, too!

  9. Now this is one gorgeous cow and she is delightfully framed by her natural habitat. Love the new grasses and new flowers too and I'm sure she is making the most of the spring herself.
