Moo Cow - Last week's DailyPaintworks Challenge

Moo Cow
16" x 16" - acrylic on canvas - SOLD

It has been a few weeks since my last post, but that is not for want of trying, or painting. During that time there were starts and stops and wipeouts; then some perseverance prevailed, and I finally have something to show for my efforts. I worked on some landscapes and this one - a cow painting. Who doesn't like a cow painting?  Years ago I painted lots of them (and sheep too) but got away from them - however decided to revisit that theme because last week's DailyPaintworks challenge was just that. Good fun. May paint a few more too.  

Moo and Ba

Moo
10" x 12"  water colour and watercolour pencils on paper

Baa
12" x 9"  watercolour & watercolour pencil on paper

Some more recent, experimental painting-sketches done in my sketchbook. I really like both for their painterly, spontaneous look. To achieve this I drew quickly and simplified form,  I then added broad strokes of juicy colour and wash and then additional watercolour pencil marks for emphasis. I would love to do this on a very large canvas with liquid acrylic paint.....and maybe I will.
