fenced in


I took photos of this cow on my way to the "rooster workshop" in Moulton. Passed a beautiful field of cattle and had to stop. Most of the cows paid no attention to me but this cow was really interested. He was a perfect model. Painted this on an 8 x 10" linen canvas.
I am at the beach for a couple of days . It is raining and kind of cold so very happy I brought my paints. If it clears up today I might try some plein air painting.
