Tag: Oil painting of Gower Cow

I have painted five “cow portraits” in all, recently. Here they are. I have enjoyed getting to know them as individuals, their long history in art and human society, and especially painting them. I have learnt a lot about their anatomy, especially their curious two-toed feet, or rather “paired hooves”. I have also discovered that cows have “dew claws” (digits that most animals have, including cats and dogs).

I am ready to switch back to landscape/woodland paintings now, after a long break from the trees.

I’ll leave you with a few photos of the cows in their natural environment.
