Henry

8 x 10 Pastel on Paper
Henry lives in Ticonderoga, NY just a few minutes from the cottage on Paradox Lake. In case you've never seen a water buffalo, he may simply look like a strange bovine to you. Henry was born on a farm in Vermont that produced water buffalo mozzarella. He's a lucky boy.

Zeus

16 x 20 Pastel on Paper
I met Zeus at the last dairy farm in Warrington, PA. He is the only "boy" who lives with the herd of girls at the farm and is quite protective of his harem. He told me exactly how close I could get when taking photos and gave me the "bull's rush" when I didn't obey.


Young Hereford

A hereford bull calf who is a bit shy, although he struck many wonderful poses during the time that I spent with him.
