Colorful Cow


Oil on 5x7 archival canvas panel.
This painting was actually posted a few months ago. It was rather on the dark side, and I believe for that reason it didn't receive any bids on eBay. So, in the interest of science (Heh), I have repainted the bovine. I added more bright colors plus lighter values. Hope this time I get to stick a shipping label on her butt and ship her out!
So now, it's a portrait of a cow set against a gorgeous sunset skyline.. I really enjoyed doing this one! The oils were applied thickly in selected areas and turned out really well in the fur texture!Hope you enjoy!!

    5. Maybe the second time around will be the charm on this one Dean. Just 'cause someone doesn't bid on a piece on e-bay doesn't mean it is not good. I would think that it would be hard to sell like that. Sometimes it takes me a year or two before the future owner of a piece will come in and discover it. Or never.
      It looks good. I like the subtle colors in the shadow, and the gentle diference between the lights and shadow values. Nice job.
      I can tell you like painting animals. I think that those are your best.
      Thanks for visiting my blog.
