Trio

 

"Trio"

8"x24"      Oil on Canvas     $600

 

This painting of a trio of cows is currently showing at Stonehenge Gallery in Montgomery.  I was inspired by the light on that hot summer day and loved how the cows gravitated toward the shade just like me! 

And how can you not love that look cows give you that says "who are you and what are you doing here?"! 

It's hot here in Alabama today...not at all like fall.  Hoping you find some lovely shady spot!

 

Happy Ice Cream Month!

"The Grass is Always Greener"   15"x30"

In honor of National Ice Cream Month, I'm posting a cow painting that is currently at Stonehenge Gallery in Montgomery.  I absolutely love painting cows and, heck, I'm pretty partial to dairy products, too!  This may start a theme this month...this is just coming to me now, so forgive my rambling, but I'm seeing paintings of ice cream cones, sundaes, etc, in addition to some fresh cow paintings.  But, at the moment, I suddenly want some ice cream.  See ya later!

Happy Cows *SOLD*

I love to paint cows and recently I was able to be "up close and personal" with a few. I took lots of photos and am eager to paint them! I think one reason I love them - other than the beautiful colors - are their expressions. They can look so angelic and then some, like this one I think, seem to be saying, "State your business" or "What are you lookin' at?". It's so funny how we stand and stare at them and they stand and stare at us....I'm easily amused!

"Hanging Out" *SOLD*

This one's being delivered to Gallery East in Eastchase today along with a few others. They're having an Open House tomorrow, Saturday, May 8, from 2-4. I love painting the cows of Pike Road, Alabama! The rusty colored ones are my favorites - the tones are so beautiful when the afternoon light hits them ranging from deep orange to purples and pinks.

More Cowbell... *SOLD*

After many requests for paintings of cows lately, I decided to post my most recent which is now for sale at the Montgomery Museum Gift Shop.

Every time someone asks me about cow paintings, my husband and I laugh about the Will Ferrell skit on Saturday Night Live..."More cowbell!"....for those of you who have seen it! You can find it on YouTube if you want to take a look!

This one is titled "Oreo" and lives on Wallahatchee Road in Pike Road, Alabama.

Backlit Buttermilk *SOLD*

Hazy late afternoon summer sunshine lit this little cow from behind and made me want to paint it...backlit buttermilk.
Currently at Stonehenge Gallery.

First Day of Blog

At last - I have set up a blog to post artwork! I would rather paint than just about anything and I can't wait to share paintings on my blog.


I admire so many artists who blog - Karen Jurick, Linda Blondheim, Carole Marine and Duane Keiser are some of my favorites. They are inspirations to me!

This painting is a recent one done of a couple of cows I saw. I loved the way the reflected light hit underneath their necks. The little one seems to say "What?", so that's what I named it!

Thanks for looking at my posts!
