Heifers!

During the past month or so, I’ve been totally consumed with gardening – digging up new spaces, getting the plants in, hauling rocks, putting up new birdhouses and garden fences – and it’s a joy to see everything growing so well. But now I’m ready to get back to painting! As we move into July, we are still under the influence of COVID-19 so we're staying fairly close to home and only taking day-long road trips. On one of our recent drives, we came around the corner in the road to see this splendid sight – a field of young heifers enjoying the afternoon sunshine in knee-deep grass! And the group included one of my favorites – a Belted Galloways/Oreo cow! Double Trouble is a 9” x 13” watercolor painting. As a rule of good composition, you should only include groups of 3 or 5 in a painting, but the photobombing heifer in the front corner was just too good to pass by!
