I love painting cows. Well, not painting the actual cows, but painting pictures of them.

This painting is a bit of a departure for me, color-wise. The day was lightly overcast, calling for a softer palette than I usually use. And I wanted to have a bit of a contrast between the detail of the foreground cows vs. the impressionism of those farther off, and the tree line.
