261 Sunny Afternoon

Another example of what you see on the side of the road in North Carolina. Took some photos, but the fenced in pasture was the only dry land. Slog through the marsh to get to the sunny side. Wet shoes, I think this is what the photographers call a "difficult shot"

195 Black Angus

I am playing "catch up," today. This is the second painting posted today. A while back we visited a couple of my wife's portrait clients. In addition to the dogs that Theresa painted, they have a farm full of Black Angus. Bob drove us around so that I could take photographs. We started with the young bull and then off to the field where the heifers were. Then down the road to a field full of calves and their mothers, more photos. Finally back to the house to the old bull who was reaching retirement age. A few hundred photos to work with - isn't digital grand.

Here is one of the girls from the heifer's field.

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.

3. In the Herd Cow Painting Number Two

Yes, this is another cow painting. No, it is not the same cow that was featured in yesterdays painting. Cows have been a favorite subject for painters for centuries. There is something so "pastoral" about a painting of a cow. If I am setting up to paint out in the country, I am often next to a field with a herd. Curiosity will have an entire herd ambling over to where I am painting. ( Ususally with a fence in between) After a while, when they realize I am not bringing food, most amble away, though a couple may stay to watch. I came upon this herd while driving around scouting for painting locations near home here in North Carolina.

2. OK Cow Painting

Day one got off to a great start. Blog up and emails sent all in a timely fashion. Website updated. Now only ninety eight left to go.

Today I have gone from the dogs to the cows. I photographed this one while driving through Oklahoma on our trip to California in April. The cows were standing in the field with about 2 inches of snow and the early morning sun shining on it all. We had just driven down the steepest hill we encountered during the entire trip. Sort of like a roller coaster rather than a road. Thankfully, it was a short hill. And yes, it was in Oklahoma. At the bottom of the hill, the morning sun was shining through the trees onto the dry grass poking up through the snow and creating a beautiful backlight on this herd of cows.
