Splendor In The Grass SOLD
5" by 7" original oil on wrap around canvas with sides painted.
- This cow just struck me as not having a care in the world. I enjoyed painting a cow in relaxed post for a change. I did her in two stages, blocking in the main shapes and background and today going in and adding the texture and details. I enjoy working this way sometimes rather than finishing it all in one sitting. Some larger pieces like an Irish cottage scene that I am going on commission, I spend quite a bit of time and in many sessions to slowly develop the details.
- Thank you to a reader named Jerry whose suggestion for yesterday's shrimp boat painting was drawn out of all that were sent in to me. I appreciate all the help from all of you!
- Sometimes I get stumped about what to paint next, so if anyone, has an idea for me about an animal, bird, flower, place, for me to paint....please send me your idea. If you have a photograph...that is even better. The group Artists Helping Artists run by Leslie Saeta, and Dreama Tolle Perry have give us artists a challenge of something to paint and post on September 1st that has something to do with the month of September...any ideas on that one?
- Hope you have a fabulous Sunday! Keep smiling and thank you for checking in with me!!

I think this is my favorite of your cows. I have a question. I just started working in oils (water mixable) and am using a quick dry medium... but of course, still being oils, they take a while to dry. I noticed that you put yours up for sale very shortly after completion. How do you know when it is dry enough to sell and ship? It seems mine are still too wet days after completion. Thanks so much for any info you can give me on this. I really adore your paintings.
