12" by 12" original oil on archival panel

I decided to try a new paint color by Lukas yesterday.  It is turquoise and really love the mix of cobalt blue and turquoise in the background.  This cow is looking for a name if anyone can help me think of one!  I usually post at the end of the evening after painting in my studio and sometimes my brain is fried! This is one of those nights so any help is greatly appreciated!  This one will be going to my gallery unless she finds a good home before next week.

I also want  to introduce you to my green eyed studio friend, named Rusty. Yes, I named her...probably when I was tired but she is only 5 and a half pounds and oh so sweet!  She is twelve years young and for most of her life she has had teenagers around to hang out with and I didn't see her that often.  Since my last one flew the coop...she is my new best friend.  At night she drapes herself across my lap and arms as I type.  Occasionally she walks through oil paint and tries to make her own paw paintings...not usually on canvas. She has been my model for more paintings than I can count.  She has won awards and is part of many collectors homes.  She just has that kind of face! :-)  

Hope you have a great Friday!  I got started painting my dining room so I know what I will be doing
this weekend!  Thank you for stopping by!

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!!

Norma Wilson Original Oil Blonde Cow Approaches

11" by 14" original oil on wrap around canvas with sides painted

I had a great day today starting with a few hours catching up in my office. Andrew was home from school as it is spring break so it felt extra casual. After lunch, I did some shipping of paintings and started this painting and also worked on a commission of a guinea pig! My treat after working all day was to watch Oprah and Ekhardt Tolle on her webinar featuring the book, "The New Earth". It has been an awesome experience and tonight was expecially good. All in all, a great day. I have painted this cow before in a different format and using different colors. It is amazing how many ways you can approach a subject. I like how it turned out and hope you do too! Have a great day tomorrow and thanks for checking in!

16" by 20" original oil on wrap around canvas.

Hello All,

I have been away for a few days in Raleigh for a workshop with Bob Buridge. It was great fun and very inspirational. I am working on some pieces in acrylic that I'll be posting later but had to get back to painting one of my favorite subjects...an Irish Cow!

Norma Wilson Original Oil Brown Cow With White Spot Art

Today's post is a 12 by 12 original oil portrait of a sweet brown and white cow. I love how the orange reddish highlights in the fur contrast with the green background. It is currently on auction on eBay and can be reached by clicking on my eBay store link. I am off to Chincoteague tomorrow to paint with my friends. It is the third year of doing this and it is always a great weekend. We saw the wild ponies of Chincoteague up close last year and I was inspired to paint them when I returned. One sold to a soldier in Afghanastan who was buying it for his wife's birthday. They owned the horses's son! They had purchased the pony as one of the annual roundups of the island's horses. They even knew his name. I will be looking for "surfer dude" again this year. Hope you all have a great weekend!

Norma Wilson Original Oil Brown and White Cow Art

Today's post is a 12 by 12 painting on wrap around canvas with sides painted. It is now on auction on eBay. Hope you all had a happy and productive Monday. We are in the last throes of moving my oldest son out as he is on his way up to Harrisonburg for his first job and apartment on his own. I have mixed feelings as I did when he left for college. I am happy that he has grown into such a wonderful young adult...so sad because he will be hours away and I will miss him. Thanks for checking in! Click to Bid!
