Eli

I was kindly invited to visit the Detweiler Farm in Bucks County this past summer and spent a morning at their beautiful farm with well cared for Holstein cattle. There were two bull calves that almost didn't make it when they were born, but were nursed back to health by one of the owners of the farm. I was quite taken with one of them and here is my first attempt painting him.
