Yesterday I was invited to do a painting demo for the De Cosmos art society, it is located in Oceanside on Vancouver Island and encourages artistic growth for its members. What a great experience it was, there was a full room of art enthusiasts who had many questions and comments. For me it was a little intimidating at first since I have never painted in front of a crowd, but the energy is so positive in such a like minded crowd it was a real treat.
This cow is from my demo.

This is another painting from the pictures I took at the farm I visited, all of the calves had separate stalls, this one was the most curious although quite shy. Also she was so beautiful and new, her eyes so shiny...such a sweet girl.

Sometimes I find it a little challenging when my subject is mostly one colour except for the shadows and highlights, I tend to add a little extra colour to spice things up a bit, like the bright orange in the hair, the soft pink around the eyes...and of course my old standby chartreuse.
