Spring Calf

The spring calves have come along nicely this year and are pretty big by now.  A new group of calves have arrived and as I was driving home yesterday there were two calves very close to the pasture fence next to the road and when they saw my truck they scampered off to their momma or baby sitter.  The cows seem to set up a little nursery with one or two cows in charge to watch over the baby calves while the main group of cows head off to eat the green grass that is showing on the valley floor and hillsides.  It is a joy to see these young calves and watch them out in the open pastures here in the foothills.  Traveling past the valley ranches, made for, "A Painting Day".

Texas Girl #4

When in Texas you had better love cows.  Luckily, I do!  The painting today is "Texas Girl #4", a Brahma and Hereford cross and one pretty lady cow.  I found her at a ranch near Goliad, Texas.  This painting has been showing in my gallery in Goliad, Texas and just recently sold so she will be heading off to a new home.  Loving cows made for, "A Painting Day".

A new friend sent a few photos of her herd of cows. Karen lives on the family farm, in Live Oak County, Texas, that was originally bought by her grandfather in the 1930's.

Just Whistling Dixie

If you saw the little Hereford painting from yesterday you will recognize one of these young Herefords. This painting shows two Herefords standing together, waiting for what will happen next? I kind got a kick out of the one on the left and thought she looked like she might be whistling. So the name, "Just Whistling Dixie". Taking a trip to the Double CC made for, "A Painting Day".

Ellie

This is the smallest painting I have ever tried to paint. It is a tiny 3x3-inch cow portrait. I visited the Double CC Ranch just over a few hills and this little Hereford had just gone through the line for the annual check and she was happy to be out on her own again. Seeing this young Hereford made for, "A Painting Day".

Texas Lady - THREE

Here is the final Brahma/Herford cow from the Texas Ladies series. When you look at these cow faces you can see why I had so much fun painting the three Texas ladies. Their owner lives in a beautiful area of south Texas, near Goliad, Texas. The area is full of history and a must see is the Presido La Bahia, a mission built in 1749. Visiting Goliad, Texas and seeing the land and cattle made for, "A Painting Day".

Texas Lady

This is one of my favorite cow paintings and it is of a Brahma/Hereford Cross. This black and white beauty stole my heart. I painted her for a lady rancher in Texas along with two other pasture mates for a special gift to her husband. I enjoyed this painting project. Each cow was a different color and each seemed to have their very own personality. The big brown eyes of Texas Lady made for, "A Painting Day".
