I kept the colours very calm for this painting, the cow just seemed to have a serene look.

Another beauty from the dairy farm...just waiting to get her picture taken before heading over to the scratching brush. I bought a new colour paint, cobalt violet which I introduced in this painting, it is the perfect purple.

I tend to stay away from black animals as I find them more difficult to paint, but when I got the photo of this cow I just had to paint her.

This is my first cow painting in awhile, I have missed painting them.  The more I paint cows the more I want to paint cows.

SOLD

I know I keep saying it, but I absolutely adore painting cows...talk about expression.  My husband took this photo and it is definitely one of my favourites.  I am also really enjoying the backgrounds, I have been adding just a little turquoise on the top of some of the paintings, it really pops and lets the eye travel more around these small art works.

I will say it again, I love just using the primaries and mixing from there, it just adds a flow to the colours and they never seem to muddy.

Cow 137 HERE'S LOOKING AT YOU

oil on 1/8th inch gesso board
SOLD

I started this painting when I got up but couldn't finish it until the afternoon. It was nice coming back to it after not working on it for a few hours, sometimes just getting away from your work gives you fresh eyes. The background is a little different, I am pleased with how it turned out.

Cow 136 ALFRED

I painted this cow just a couple of weeks ago, I downloaded an app that flips the image so I painted it today using the reverse image. I always find it helpful to paint something more than once.

Another cow day.  I didn't fuss with this painting as much as I usually do and like the outcome...messy and loose.
