I've been switching gears from several large works, Here are some of the latest, a selection of Holstein cow paintings.

Holstein Cow  original oil "Sunny"   12"x12"

I loved her curiosity and the black top knot.

 

Holstein Cow Oil Study 8"x8"  

Inquisitive girl, with great eyelashes.

 

Holstein Calf w/Red oil painting study   8"x8"

This little calf had a cute face, and needed to be painted.

 

Last but certainly not least, I loved the expression, angle and colors in this Holstein calf:

Holstein Calf "On the Ranch" oil painting study  8"x8"

 

This study is certainly going to end up as a large piece.  They may all, but I am sure about this one.  That is the purpose of a small study after all, to see the colors and composition in smaller form, before committing to a very large painting.
