Cow 89 LUNCH TIME

6 x 6 inch
oil on 1/8 inch gessobord
SOLD

I was fortunate enough to spend a couple of hours at one our local dairy farms yesterday.  We drove up to the barn where the cows were just enjoying their lunch, but curiosity was peaked for one gal who quickly made eye contact with me  long enough to get some great photos...she had the prettiest eyes.

This is another painting I started with a white canvas...no underpainting, I am really enjoying the process, it's like someone turned a bright light on while you were painting...change is always good to shake things up a little.

Cow 44 On my own

oil on panel
SOLD

I am really enjoying painting my cows lately, trying with each one to add different colours for the accents.This one I just used a little purple, I like it against the rusty brown of the body the pink background.

Cow 43 Pardon me

SOLD

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.

Cow 35 Amused

I am really enjoying playing around with whites and of course painting another cow.

Cow 33 It's me

Sometimes I find it challenging choosing a background colour for my paintings.  This was the third try...I like it.

I was at my studio today working away on this cow painting, one of my friends came to visit took a look at the cow and said it belongs in a children's story book.

I really enjoyed painting this cow,  I am trying to use less strokes.  Still loving the limited palette.

Cow 22...What were you thinking?

6 x 6

I decided to use a lemon yellow for the underpainting, I wanted to keep the painting really light.  The nose and mouth are my favourite part of this painting.

Cow 17...Wondering

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.

Well, I am in the double digits with the cow paintings.  I have to say I am really enjoying painting them and also my new limited palette.
