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.

Cow 28...Sturdy is what comes to mind

I didn't use as much paint as usual,  I was being very thoughtful of where to place my brush strokes,  I loved the shape of this cow...nice and sturdy.

Cow 26...Little miss

For me it is a challenge painting things with tiny detail.  I ended up using 3 different size paint brushes.  Even with the smallest brush my had still wants to make a large stroke.  I did the head 3 times, the first two kind of looked like a gargoyle.

So I really let my paintbrush dance with this sweet little calf.  I decided to add grass at the end and am really pleased with the finished product.  I tried to stay really loose with my strokes.

Well this is my last cow until New Years.  We are heading to London for Christmas to visit our daughter.  I considered bringing my paints(for a tiny second) and then decided sometimes it is good to just be on a full out vacation.  I will have my camera though to take many inspiring pictures for the New Year.  Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday.

I am back to painting on the 6 x 6, I find even something as simple as changing the canvas size can really change things up...more interest for me.

Another commission, this is the first time I have painted a chocolate lab.  I am really pleased with the colours, now that I am just using the primaries to mix I am starting to really enjoy adding a hint of paint to make another shade that seems to work right into the existing colour.

This is the month for commissions,  my girlfriend Alison comes to visit  the island every summer and a couple of days ago photo bombed me with a bunch of pictures of favourite animals that she wants me to paint.  Here is Dude.
