He loved ears of corn, especially if the husk was removed!

Just watched a TED talk with Scott Dinsmore about doing what you love. Artists have their ups and downs, but we're so lucky to have the passion to paint. Check it out!

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.

It's been months since I've visited Maple Acres Farm...perhaps this weekend since the temperatures will reach the 50's. This boy is so sweet. A bit shy but he will come a bit closer if you offer him some treats.

This boy has such attitude! I was out at a preserved farm doing a not so good landscape painting and driving home when I saw a herd of mixed breed cattle a half mile from where I was painting. It's the unexpected bovine siting that may provide the best pose or look.

Day 18 30 in 30 - White Face Calf

Missed yesterday with so much going on with the show delivery and necessary evils. This is a little boy who I saw this past summer while out painting at a preserved farm. I will probably do a little more work on him, but here he is for the moment.
