Today's painting is a Texas Longhorn.  I love the attitude of this guy, and have wanted to paint it for a while. 

5x7 Texas Longhorn  #5/30 original oil by Denise Rich    $99

The attitude always gets me!  As a side point, this angle he held his head at is one of the best for getting those loooong horns into the piece on this size canvas.  I placed him in a basic background to enhance but not detract from the subject.  

Finding subjects can be a challenge, and this one I found on a breeders ranch in Temecula, California, along with several other Texas Longhorns that I photographed for reference.  

As number 5 of my 30 paintings in 30 days, there are 25 more to go, so if you are interested in receiving a daily email containing the daily painting be sure and let me know, I did finally get instructions on how to do that so you have to ask to be added to that list.
