Cow Painting I Don't Know If I Am Coming or Going by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

I love painting cows. They are truly one of my favorite things to paint. Can I say one more time that I am lousy at taking pictures of my art? This is so much nicer that portrayed here. 20x20x1.5 oil on gallery wrapped canvas.

Grazing Before Winter cow painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

I went on a camping trip a couple of weeks ago and in the early morning with the sun just right we came across a field of cows. I was in heaven. They were so beautiful with the green grass and the red leaves of fall just starting to turn. Pure bliss..... 7x5 oil on canvas animal painting.

Ghost Cow, cow painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Ghost Cow by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

I know that this is a little different than what I usually paint. I am pushing values. I made a value scale yesterday and need more practice so I thought what a better way to play with values with a light cow and a light background. 5x7 cow painting with oil on a canvas panel.

Blackie cow painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Today I worked on dark to light values which I think worked well to accentuate the creases in the neck area. I am happy with the eyes because the eyes really show the spirit and life of the animal. In the photo I worked form on this black cow his eyes showed as black with areas of brown. Most cows I paint show as black only but being an artist I can add what I want to make the painting work better. Please don't ever let anyone tell you that painting a black cow is easy or black animal of any kind for that matter. Pet Portrait, cow painting oil on 7x5 canvas panel.

Don't Just Stand There by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

I continue with these cow paintings which you may see as just plain cows but I see as colors, values, both light and dark. Those which demand attention and those which support to make the important things more important. Each day I don't just paint but each day I strive to learn more. To become better because that is what is important to me. I can't just be happy to paint but I desire to paint well.

My journey continues. Thanks for joining me on it.
