This bull really gave me the stink eye...can't say that I blame him since he had to put up with me following him around, singing to him, and snapping photos.
Thank you, Diane. I'm a huge fan of your work. Your comment goes a long way towards keeping the negative voices in my head from coming to the front of the line!
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.
Truman is great! Love your colors and the "look" he is giving us. Your moo cows are wonderful.....Kay
ReplyDeleteHi Kay, So nice to hear from you! Thank you for your comments.
DeleteI spent some time looking through y our blog, Susan, and am in awe at the sensitivity with which you paint these beautiful creatures.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your encouraging words. That's what I am hoping to do when painting their expressive faces.
