286 Jersey on the Lawn

We came across this young Jersey cow along with three others not far from our studio. They were busy keeping the grass cut on the front lawn of an old homestead. We got out to take photos (only had phones, not the real cameras), the owner walked up and we got to talking. He was getting ready to take them to a back field for Autumn and Winter but was running a bit late that afternoon. Ten minutes later and they would have been gone from view of the road and remained unknown to us. He told us that he had been planning to buy one of the four from a retiring farmer nearby, but he had ended up in the hospital before completing the deal. While there, his wife completed the purchase. Unsure of exactly which cow he wanted, she bought all four. 
This small painting is the first of the Jersey paintings, one of which will end up as a 30" x 40" or a 36" x 48" painting.

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"

257 Fox Fox Fox Chicken

This Rooster was painted in the middle of a number of Fox paintings,thus the name Fox Fox Fox Chicken. One of those fox paintings "Fox Eyes" is on the previous post. Could Fox Eyes and this painting be considered a matched pair?

222 Catching Some Rays

It seems that Winter might be ending, at least for a few days. So Theresa and I jump in the car on Sunday afternoon and take a ride around Granville, Franklin and Warren counties. As usual, it seems that I find most of the interesting subjects just around the corner. It was a nice day, still a bit of chill in the wind, a good day to hunker down and enjoy the warm sun.

214 In the Flock

I am always amazed at the diversity here just outside Raleigh NC. From longhorn cows to Glouscestershire Old Spots within twenty miles of our house. Old tobacco barns on old tobacco farms, dairy barns on dairy farms, all around the corner. Chickens, guineas, donkeys just down our road. Albino deer running across the front yard, driving the dogs nuts. Squirrels and rabbits. Tree frogs....
Today's painting, Theresa and I took a drive around the county a week or so ago and came across a flock of sheep. Unlike the longhorns down the road, they decided they didn't want us around and began moving away. We had to move quickly to get the cameras out to take photos to use as reference for paintings. On this painting I decided to move the calendar forward a bit and green up their pasture.

209 The Girls

The Girls
5 x 7 Oil on Canvas
SOLD

The Girls have modelled for me a number of times, both together and separately. The colors in these paintings have always intrigued me. We ran across them late on a early spring afternoon. Let me say that again. It was early in Spring, late March, early April here in NC and we were driving up in northern Granville County late in the day. So there was a still that clear winter light with a warm orange cast from the setting sun. This creates, especially on their white faces, a warm light against a cool bluish shadows. Just fun to paint if you like to play with color.

204 Charolais

A pig, now a cow. What's next? A chicken or a frog? A horse or a dog or a cat? Nope. I had to do some gold leaf work out of town, so I have had to plan ahead. Back to today's painting. A Charolais. You can find them lying in the shade of huge old oak trees as you drive down through central Florida. Do you fly in and out of Palm Beach International? Then you probably don't see them and will just have to add painting to your collection.....

203 Back with a Pig

What can I say....I had to get a pig painting posted. This one seems a bit more pensive than the other pig paintings.
Thanks to the internet, the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy and listing of local farms selling produce, I found a farm raising Gloucestershire Old Spots less than twenty miles from our home. I thought I would be trekking to Virginia and north to find them, but sometimes if you look in your own backyard.....

201 Young Heifer

At a recent show in northern Virginia, a lot of collectors were interested in paintings of Black Angus. Now I understand that there are a lot of Black Angus in that area, but when it comes to painting, the Herefords (white and brown), Belted Galloways (oreo cows) and Highland Cattle (hairy, shaggy with long horns) make the job much easier.
The white face of the young cow below gives an opportunity to play with colors. Warm whites from the sunlight, neutral/grays in the shadows and some blue reflected lights from the sky.

199 Belgian Blue Bull

A quick post, this painting was sold before I got it up on the blog, sorry about that. Since the file names for the photos include the number and it was on the website, I am posting this and will move on to the next.....number 200

The rope halter is the "fun to paint" item in the painting...

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.

175 White Donkey

Yesterday I was at the Dixie Draft Horse, Mule and Carriage Auction in Troutman, NC. It seemed that I needed to be working on a painting of something other than birds for a couple of days. So here's another donkey painting....

142 Bald Rooster

Since I am watching the sunrise as I add the photo of this painting, post it to the blog, email updates to my subscribers, it's only fitting that it is a painting of a rooster. Thankfully, our neighbors have chickens, so we get to enjoy the rooster crowing vicariously. Also the donkey which is about a quarter mile down the road. Of course, Oreo the mama goat's bleating most likely annoys our neighbors enough to make us part of the Great Countryside Morning Symphony.

I am not sure of the breed of this fellow, so I call him the Bald Rooster, his coloring reminds me of a Bald Eagle.

140 Highland Cattle

I have been having a lot of fun painting birds lately. So why not paint a cow again. Just for a day or so. It's getting cold again (at least for here) but not as cold as the highlands of Scotland. To get to the point, Highland Cattle, originally from Scotland have long heavy coats which keep them warm through the wild Highland winters. Pretty wild looking creatures

130 Pigs - Mother and Child


Everyone loves paintings of mothers and children. Look at Mary Cassatt. She hangs in museums around the world. She just didn't paint pigs. Well, maybe there weren't any British Saddlebacks around for her to paint in Paris.
