Cow 43 Pardon me

I decided to use blue and purple as the shadow colour for the cow.  I just kept adding little bits of bright colour to make the painting more lively, so much variation you can use for a black and white cow.

I took a class last month with Ingrid Christensen and she couldn't stress enough to not add any detail until the very end, I have been trying though sometimes I get ahead of myself.  I like the pink background against the browns and rusts.  I only used a very small amount of white.

I was at my studio at the art centre today.  I am really trying to be more loose and not go over and over the same brush stroke(a huge issue with me).  I also threw in some magenta to my palette just for fun.

Fairfield is one of my favourite areas in Victoria.  Walking the streets filled with character homes is the perfect thing to do on a sunny afternoon, I liked the colours on this house, purple and blue two of my favourites and against the green of the shrubs is a perfect combination.

I just couldn't seem to keep this cow from becoming quite colourful.  I used the colours I had left from my palette yesterday.

This painting seems more abstract than my usual, it is also darker...different but I like how it turned out.

My girlfriend sent me the picture of this cat yesterday, his name is Patches he is twelve years old.

I was kind of all over the place with my paint strokes trying to get the fullness of the cats fur.
