"Spotted Cow Ranch"

A make believe farm scene. 

I enjoy doing these imaginative pursuits. 

Acrylic on canvas, 20 x 30 x 2. 

Sold. 

"Homestand" 

Acrylic on canvas, 

22" X 28".

I used a photo from Flickr member, Carol Von Canon

for reference. 

I love doing the backgrounds now. 

Once upon a time they were intimidating as it was always a challenge 

to figure out what to do in them. 

Now i see them as a Playground in which we 

can experiment and play with colours. 

Available. 

"Molly (Whuppie)"

This painting was commissioned by two young folks as a gift for their mother

on her birthday. 

She had wanted one of my cow paintings for a long time. 

My clients were 12 and 14 years of age and very pleasant to deal with. 

I gave them a break on the price of course. 

They'd saved their allowance to be able to do this.  

I enjoy commissions and the stories that often go with them. 

Such as this one! :)

"Best Friends"

A young lady i used to work with asked me to paint these two,

for one of her relatives for Christmas. 

I had a difficult time with it at first as is often the case with commissions. 

But yesterday it started to take on the life i always look for. 

The results are very pleasing to me. 

I was going to call it "Best Friends Forever" but as you know 

the likelihood of these cuties being around still are slim. 

This is why i like to paint cows. 

They give us so much and are only here for a short while. 

I can honour them in a painting and love doing so.

"Cowperate Ladder"

Some good folks wanted a painting based on the photo shown. 

They said they went out to check on the herd one day and this is what they found. 

Pretty funny to think the cow was wandering around with a ladder stuck on it's head.
