A dog. No dog is just a dog I say. They all have such spirit and hope. I have never met a dog who did not have love somewhere deep in their heart. And that tongue...that drippy wet tongue. How could anyone resist that.

Milk Maid cow painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Again, again, I just can't paint enough cows. They are my absolutely love them. The are slow or at least I think they are. I won't be climbing over any fences to find out. I really liked painting the pink udders on this one. This cow was staked out in someones yard in Amish country for their personal use of milk I think. Her udders were full and she was just happily munching on the green grass. She was behind a chain link fence which I promptly left out.

paint at least one cat in their lifetime.

Ringo cow painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Ringo cow painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

As I continue my quest for a better painting I have been concentration on a few things. Not only paying close attention to the subtle value changes but also I added intentional perspective detail by

graduated color changes and the fence in the background and that one lone power line. I am painting slower these and paying particular attention to detail. Can I say once again that I love to paint cows. For some reason I am having trouble with photographing. I have tried several different methods but still I continue to get glare.
