I have been working on this painting for a while.  One of the reasons is it took some time to get the right reference for it,

as my client had a very specific 'look' she wanted.  Because the cows simply refuse to line up in cooperation this involved several

trips to the local dairies, waiting for the chance opportunity to get a photo of cows that would fit her vision.  She wanted the beack to look like the one she vacations at, Destin Beach, Florida.

It's been a long time to find the right combination of cows, and tweaking the beach, for which I used various reference

material, but I am happy with it now.  It does get a lot of attention at the studio, and several people have said it's

their favorite.  Thank you, Genny for giving me the opportunity to make this happen for you!

It was a lot of work, but it challenged me and the end result is very satisfying.
