"Midday" ©


Did you know that when cows eat damp grass and weeds their teeth squeak. It's true, I was painting this scene and heard an odd sound behind me and this cow was having breakfast 1o feet away. I also think they watch you paint, why else stand in one spot, head lowered, just staring at you. The cows in my painting took off and ran before I could really nail them in but I'll try a large studio piece and work the cows out.
Oil on panel, 9" X 12"

Thanks Marian, I am starting a 18" X 24" tonight, using my little studies with the cows in the foreground, so that I can have fun painting them. This is the kind of night I hate to go to sleep because I am so excited about this painting.....
