9. Oreo Cows

Another painting of the Belted Galloway Cows at Fearrington Village. Driving up to Philadelphia from home in North Carolina for the Devon Horse Show, I kept passing farms and landscapes that made me want to pull over, stop and get out the easel and paint. As I drove up the Eastern Shore of Maryland, the sun was almost setting, sending golden light out onto the fields and barns of this still rural landscape. Had to keep driving, have to paint at the show tomorrow....

I made me appreciate how lucky I am that I can take the time to go and paint in these wonderful locations. From the quiet of the pasture to the hustle and bustle of the horse show. Here is another of the Belted Galloway paintings from my trip to Fearrington Village.

8. Belted Galloways at Fearrington

Yesterday I joined with a group of plein air painters from PAINTNC. We met a Fearrington Village, a community located on a former dairy farm. The farmhouse and barn have become the nucleus for a village of shops and gardens at the heart of the community. One of the features of the Village are the belted galloway cows are rare breed from Scotland that had been at the farm since the 1950's. It was a sunny day, but windy. Cool for May in North Carolina and a great day to paint. The painters spread out from the roadside by the farm to the gardens in the village. I set up next to the barn and waited patiently for the cows to move out into the sun. And waited. And waited. It probably was only five minutes, but I was ready to paint. Finally, a few moved into position. I began to paint. All the cows began to move. They stood still for a bit, I began to paint, they moved. It was an exercise in quick sketching and working from memory. I was able to complete a couple of these intimate sized paintings that are posted here and begin a larger garden painting.
Here are the "Oreo" cows.
