Norma Wilson Original Oil Virginia Cow Art Cattle Painting


Virginia Cow Girl

12" by 12 " original oil on wrap around canvas with sides painted.

I first saw this gal on a trip up to Massanutten to take my son snowboarding. I loved how she stood out amongst the darker cows and the sun was lighting her up against the snowy backdrop. I had so much fun painting her today as I listened to my Michael Buble CD. I am looking forward to spending the evening with a great friend. Life is good! I found this quote on thinkexist.com and could not figure out who to give credit for it but it struck a chord with me. Hope you like it too!

“This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life.”


Have a great weekend!

“As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.” Henry David Thoreau

Over the years I have painted my cat, Rusty, quite a few times and I think it has gone
to her head. She really strikes a pose and just knows that someone will want to give her
painting a good home! I really had fun painting her eyes which really say it all.For more

Norma Wilson Original Oil Irish Landscape Seascape Cottage


Cottage By Galway Bay

6" by 8" original oil on masonite board

Many yearsago, on a trip to Ireland with my mother, we traveled with my Aunt and cousin from Waterford to the other side of Ireland to the rocky west coast of Galway. This painting was inspired by a photograph taken on that trip. I used to dream as a little girl of returning to Ireland to live in one of these little cottages that dot the seaside and seem so enchanting with their white washed exteriors and thatched roofs. Today I was able to live a little bit of that dream while I painted. I did this small study in preparation of doing a large one for my mother who wants to put it over her sofa. Then I can almost walk into it and stay a bit! :-) Hope it will remind her of her homeland and bring a smile to her face each time she sees it.

Norma Wilson Original Oil Massanutten Cow SOLD

Massanutten Cow  SOLD


6" by 6" original oil on wrap around canvas with sides painted

Last week while up in Massanutten for a skiing trip I spotted some cows on the side of the road and jumped out to take their pictures. They were so curious as to what I was up to but when
I got close they would all move sideways a few feet. Good thing I had a zoom. I did this little study tonight but hope to do some larger pieces from this group of cows. It was such a beautiful afternoon and there was snow on the ground and the mountain in the background. Hope your New Year is off to a great start....mine sure is!
