I have tried several times to paint this cow with no luck...I tried once more.  I started just adding the darks very loosely and then just kept adding little bits until I was happy with it.

Right when I finished this cow painting my friend Agnes came into the studio and said "nose first"  perfect name.

Cow 60 Hoity Toity

SOLD

I loved the pose of this cow, I decided to make the  nose extra pink, it just seemed to fit.

Cow 59 Is she looking at us?

6 x 6 inch
oil on panel
SOLD

I have been meaning to paint these cows for awhile...what are they looking at, who knows.  I love both of their expressive faces.  I used a very limited palette which is sometimes the best thing to do for painting, no fussing around with too many colour choices.

 We were in Victoria on a beautiful fall day at least two years ago, my husband and daughter were sitting outside of one of our favourite restaurants so I snapped this photo.  I have never painted a person portrait before, I absolutely loved it.  I will definitely do more.

I live in deer country, walking down the street, in my yard...everywhere, they have had many meals in my garden.  No matter how annoying that is I just love them.  My friend sent me some photos of the little darlings so here is my very first deer painting.  

Cow 58 I smell something

I get such a kick out of painting a close up cow...the nose covers most of the canvas.

Cow 57 Is orange my colour?

6 x 6 inch
oil on panel
SOLD

I used a little rose violet in this painting, the colours are quite different than usual a little more subdued. 

Cow 56 Chill

6 x 6 inch
oil on board
SOLD

I used thalo blue again for my underpainting, I changed the background colour twice before I was happy with it.  Sometimes when you have such a strong underpainting colour it competes with everything else.  In the end I was happy with the green.

Cow 55 Puzzled

SOLD

  I can't remember why I decided to paint my first cow, they are just so wonderful to paint.  I also had no idea how many cow fans there are.

I was in Victoria last week with my girlfriend(such a beautiful city) We were wandering on Fort street which has some great antique stores, there sitting on the sidewalk just outside a cafe was this beautiful boxer, Paco was his name, the owners were more than happy to let me take pictures of him.  I have only every seen two or three white boxers, love their colouring, especially their pink rimmed eyes.

Cow 54 I'm serious

6 x 8 inch
oil on board
SOLD

I have painted this cow before,  I took a different approach starting with a thalo blue under painting.  I used alizarin crimson to soften the rust colour.  The more I paint cows the more I want to paint cows.

Cow 53 Purple haze

8 x 6 inch
oil on panel
SOLD

Originally I was using purple just to add  hints of definition to the black, I just kept using more and more so I went with it.  I love the outcome,  I laugh every time I walk by this painting.

Cow 52 Being nosey

6 x 8 inch
oil on panel
SOLD

Another black and white cow, I just keep experimenting with the colour white and the colour black.

The more I paint cows the more I love to paint cows.  

Cow 50 Dazzled

The colouring of this cow was very unique, more of a chocolate  brown with some beautiful rust, and her head looked as if she was wearing a hat...classy girl.
