Julius

Julius lives at a local farm in Montgomery County, PA. He's the first Charlois that I've met in person(?). He is the only one of the small herd that is not afraid of me and promises to be a handful later.

  1. I think one of the nicest things about this challenge is that you get to connect with new artists. I can't wait to see what you do next - this is wonderful!!!

    1. Thank you, Claire!
      This is my first attempt at blogging with a real commitment and boy was I shocked to see there were actually comments. The only trouble is that I'm such a newbie that I can't see them on the actual blog.

  2. I love your cows. I live on a farm and I try to paint cattle often too. The Charolais ones are easier for me to paint because they have so many different colors in their hides. Black ones are the hardest... well, because they're black. I like the expression in their faces.

    1. No matter what color the fur is, there's a challenge somewhere in the painting!
