On a recent visit to Mississippi, I took a photo of this cow and calf.  My girlfriend was driving through the countryside when I spotted these two.  She pulled over for me to take several photos.  The grass was a bright spring green, and I really liked the bushes in the background.

This was painted from a photo I took several weeks ago in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge.  It was taken in the morning, providing interesting light.  I love painting scenes and animals in  dramatic lighting.  This week, we spent several days in the Refuge and I was able to take some very interesting photos.  I can hardly wait to paint some of them.

I painted this one several years ago and decided to paint it again.  I started the painting a month ago before our trip to Glacier National Park and finished it yesterday.  I took many photos of landscapes and wildlife on our trip through New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana that I plan on using for new paintings.

I like painting cows with interesting spots and patterns.  This is a longhorn heifer in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge.
