Texas Longhorn Cattle are part of America's history. They roamed wild across the prairie lands. I visited a Texas Longhorn breeder, Alamendra Longhorns, owned by Pete and Ginny Boyce in Manteca, California a year or so back. I got a tour of their ranch and even climbed a barbed wire fence to take a few photos. The GATE was way over on the other side of the pasture so over I went. Longhorn cattle are majestic in their own right. I love seeing their many colors, strong physique and their magnificent long horns. I do appreciate Pete for taking me around his ranch. Meeting Pete Boyce and seeing his Texas Longhorn herd made for, "A Painting Day". EMAIL: almendralonghorns@hotmail.com

This is such a strong painting. It functions so well as an abstract piece as well as a wonderful realistic look at the Longhorn.
A very fine painting, Ruth. I just wish it could enlarge more to get a better feel for the surface.
Hi Don, Thank-you so much for stopping by and your comment on "Sunday Stroll". I will send you a larger photo file to check out the texture. Take care.
Shirley, I had not thought of the abstract feel to this painting. Interesting observation. Thank-you for your comment.

Thank-you Dusty for your comment. I would love to see your local Texas Longhorn cattle neighbors.
These guys are cool. Nice shading on their coats. Love the horns. Hope your horse is on the mend.
