I have been invited to a ranch that raises Hereford cattle for the past few years but kept missing calving season.  I finally made it this year, and in my previous post I showed three different studies of Hereford calves from photos I took on that visit.  All three of those are portraits, which I suppose are my favorite type of cow painting because you can see the face so much better.   I am also drawn to peaceful scenes like this one.

It seems like the paintings are coming in runs, a while back it was Black Angus, now it's Herefords!  Calving season has brought with it great reference of other breeds of calves too, and I'll have a few small study paintings of Black Angus and Black Baldy calves coming up soon to even out the score.  

You can view all of my small paintings/studies here.
