The Cow's View


This 9x12 oil on panel I did a couple weeks ago.  It's another in the Trees and Snow series though this time it represents the stony corner of a pasture.  I've been to this spot many times, but now for some reason the barbed wire fence has been taken down, so I was able to actually stand in the pasture itself, and look back to where I normally stood, on the other side of the fence, the cow's view, so to speak.  I tried to keep things simple due to the complexity of the view.

Another thought from Ken Howard: "If as an artist you are touched by a subject, it will touch others.  If you paint a subject just because you think other people will like it, they never will."
