A sweet incentive for an Airbnb in Brevard, North Carolina, was a clan of Scottish Highland cows in the backyard pasture, a welcome reprieve after long days of painting. Hustling around downtown concrete or romping in the cool, tall grass – there’s no comparison.
The evening light lit up the face as I quickly sketched in values of grey. Noting each color in real life, I added these to my sketched cow. The sun was setting, the cows were moving, and my paintbrush was brushing in rapid fire. This small piece was snatched up by someone else with a soft spot for tousled-top cows wearing orange.
