Cow 82 STANDING TALL

6x6 inch
oil on gessobord
SOLD

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.

Cow 81 HEAD HONCHO

6x6 inches

SOLD

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 80 BABY MAMA

6 x 6 inch
oil on gessobord
SOLD

I started this painting on a white canvas...no under paint, and sketched it with indian yellow.  I like that it is really crisp, the cow stands out so much against the background. 

Cow 79 INNOCENCE

6 x 6 inches
oil on gessobord
SOLD

There is something wonderful about anything as soft and wispy as a baby calf, and so very innocent. I used a very limited palette and worked on enhancing the soft curves and leaving the brushwork very loose.

Cow 78 BFF

size 6 x 6
oil on gessobord
SOLD

These two cows were great to paint, I used a limited palette and kept things very simple.

Cow 77 DEEP IN THOUGHT

6 x 6 inche
oil on gessobord
SOLD

I like that this cow fills the canvas, sometimes it seems more effective.  Lots of oranges and golds with hints of pink...enjoyed painting him.

Cow 76 THE BELL BOY

6 x 6 inches
oil on gessobord
SOLD

I haven't painted many pure white cows, it can be a challenge sometimes because of my colour addiction.  That being said I really enjoyed just trying to keep the colours and shadows soft though I did get to add a little pop with the landscape.
