This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Christine was the gracious hostess.
I liked the attitude of the little one feeling safety behind Mama!
I first toned the panel with red acrylic. Then I pushed the color and applied the paint thickly in select places. This is all brush..no painting knife.
C&C welcome. Thanks for looking!

Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
Good morning Dean. This is a beautiful painting of Mamma and the Calf, both the brush work and color. What size is it?
ReplyDeleteHi Steinunn! It's 7"x5".
DeleteLove that the ears are laying down.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry...It gives the calf a very cautious look doesn't it? That appealed to me.
DeleteWonderful work, Dean! Color and light!! The little one is adorable next to his Mama!! Beautiful expression.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Hilda! I enjoyed your portrait of the little girl...wonderfully done!
DeleteGood afternoon Dean!... A wonderful composition... using those horns... draws the viewer's eyes right up to the richly coloured face and head. The ears of the calf drive the eyes right back to the mother. A wonderfully rivoting compositional device.
ReplyDeleteA gem Sir! A lot said... in such a small space!
Good Painting!
Warmest regards,
Bruce
How lovely and cute is this little face looking at me. Congratulations on this gem of a painting.
