Cruising the Cows - cowboy checking cattle herd

8 X 12 Oil on gessoed board $125

Includes shipping and insurance

He's just checking the cows and the fence and the condition of the grass and looking for that sick cow that needs her foot doctored all while watching out for that big coyote who took down a calf last week. The cows know this "multi-tasker" is on their side and are unconcerned...

I am trying different limited palettes and this is another result. Cad red deep, Cad yellow, Ultramarine blue, dioxazine purple and white. And for fun, I used my I-phone to take the picture. Got a little glare, but it's not bad.
Luke 15:27
And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.

It's amazing what the eye sees and how it interprets paint. This little piece is composed of a minimum of brush strokes, and I opened just 5 tubes of paint. Yet your eye still thinks it sees all the detail.
I KNOW simple is better, yet I continue to complicate my life with more possessions and "labor saving" devices. I'm trying not to, though....I have come to really enjoy the simplest of tasks.
I have found that sweeping the tile floor in the living room is so much more enjoyable than loud vacuuming. Hand whisking egg whites is still noisy, but not as bad as the electric mixer. And leaning into the cow while I milk her has GOT to be more satisfying than hooking her up to a milking machine and flipping a switch.
Proverbs 31:17
She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.
