"Shhh! - this way!"

These two seem to be up to no good. Perhaps they are going to raid the feed bin? Or they are off to meet up with the bulls in the south pasture.  Either way i think they are up to something and thought the pair of them would make a humorous, whimsical painting. This one and Gigi are being entered into a juried group show. I hope they are accepted by the herd and can congregate with some fellow paintings.
Approximately 14 X 20, transparent watercolor on Arches CP paper.

  1. You give your animals such great expressions and personalities. Hopefully one day I can too!

  3. I love their attitude-they certainly look quite mischievous. You really captured their personalities with beautiful rich colours.

    1. Thanks Pat. I am still gobsmacked over your martini painting. I have my fingers crossed too as there are so many artists who try for the limited wall space at the gallery. I shall let you know!

  5. I love your cows Ross. I'm glad you are painting more of them. I hope this one and Gigi get into the show. All of these cows seem to have some attitude. I wonder what they know that we don't...

    1. I am very(!!!) happy to hear that the enthusiasm your paintings provoked on me was somehow timely returned to you! Your work is really fascinating, and no way you should let one event put you down. As an admirer I sincerely hope you stick to your dreams and keep bringing beauty and colors to the world! :)
