baby charolais

I am wondering if you might be a little impressed that I did not title this "baby white cow"? I found out at an art show in Nashville that the white cows are charolais. This calf looks so much like a lamb that I googled pictures of lambs to see the differences. I painted this charolais on an 8 x 8" gallery wrap canvas.
Have a great weekend!

  6. I am in love...this is just the best! That sweet face is all cow-to-be and could never be mistaken for a lamb! The snout and broader face are just amazing and very "charolais". Love that you taught us all a new word along with getting to see a gorgeous fresh painting too!

  8. What a beauty!! I always think of cows as warm and loving and gentle, a spirit you always capture in your cow paintings. The white charolais also adds innocence to that sense. I wonder if it is their huge eyes and super long lashes that give me that sense.
