Ah...This one is painted just because I felt like painting it....not in answer to a challenge or a group event. Feels good to do that once in awhile.
I have been asked to paint another cow from some time back. So here it is. There's something about a cow's face that seems so inquisitive and innocent.
I had fun pushing the colors and strength of light source for this one.
Hope ya like it!
C&C welcome...Thanks for looking.
Matthew 22:37 Jesus answered: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. 38 This is the first and most important commandment.
Wow! Love the texture in this painting, Dean. This cow is painted beautifully!!!. Excellent color and light on his face.
ReplyDeleteHi Hilda! Thanks...I always love the challenge of pushing light and color...To create a "painting" from a "photograph".
DeleteYou did push the colors a bit in a great way of course. Love him.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Angela...I enjoyed seeing how prolific you are lately with your great paintings! Well done!
Deleteyes, I agree, cows are beautiful---and you did this one justice!
ReplyDeleteCeleste,,,Thank you!
DeleteI really enjoyed the cow you painted on the black gesso!
Oh he is beautiful, Dean! I love the light going through the tips of his ears too. And I find myself wanting to pet his beautiful face; you've managed a gorgeous texture in his fur.
ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning the parts that got your attention on this one, Sherry!
DeleteI love the input! :)
I never thought of it before, but yes, they do have an inquisitive look. Great job here and especially like how you've captured the light.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lokelani! Yes they have the look of "?????" in their eyes.Lol.
DeleteGood evening Dean!... That big abstract "T" symbol... planted front and centre giving us those gorgeous "cow eyes" rivets one's eye and demands that we pay attention.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful composition Dean... and the warmth and wonderfully loose brushwork support that alluring abstraction you have used so effectively to snare and capture our attention! Bravo!
Good Painting!
Warmest regards,
Bruce
I agree with all the comments but my fav part is the great design you came up with. The way you cropped and angled the horns makes this cow extra special
ReplyDeleteYou brought out the grandeur of a cow in this lovely composition, just beautiful!
