Susan, this is fabulous. Can't even begin to tell you what a joy it was to discover your art work as a result of this challenge. I'll be checking in here to see what comes next!
Your paintings have such warmth and your cows, are divine. I've been a cow lover since early childhood visits to my Uncle Jimmy's upstate NY dairy farm. I could sit in the stalls with the calves in my arms for hours.
Painting and drawing was a major part of my life as a child but dissapeared during my teens and through my life as an adult working fulltime in the corporate world. The awakening came one day at the office when I realized that I had to return to art, quit and took a partime job. I began classes at a local art league and painting at home.
Another awakening arrived when I had my first intimate encounter with a dairy cow. Then there was the interview with Temple Grandin...no more eating these beautiful creatures or anything with a mother. My goal is to depict these non-human animals as the sentient, beautiful beings that they are. That's it.
You've inspired me!
