Down a country road in the little town of Hye, Texas, I found these cows resting in the shade. Of course, as soon as I started painting they got up and ambled off into the pasture! Not the best model behavior - luckily I had some sketches to fall back on!
Texas is beautiful, but I think it's her powers of observation! I love this, Laurel--it's amazing to me how much can be conveyed by just a few strokes. the cows are a perfect example of that.
You are so good. This is just beautiful, and I love the subtle abstract surety of the cows. They are perfectly painted. A sheer delight on every level.
The confidence and spontaneous use of color and minimal brush strokes just amaze me. Makes me want to give it a try.
I noticed this was 12 x 12. I have to judge a 12 x 12 show for the MId Michigan Art Guild this weekend. In the future, I might suggest that they visit your blog. I'm sure they would be excited and amazed. Doug
Laurel, I want to be where you are .. or is it just your powers of observation? Just stunning. r
