New cow painting for sale

Beautiful new cow painting for sale - textured painting in glowing colours is now available.

My latest cow painting for sale is Talisker, in rich glowing shades of chocolate, gold and warm orangey-reds. I painted this big guy using thickly applied paint over thinner underlayers, creating a lot of texture and movement, The layered colours absolutely glow! This is one of the many beautiful things about oil painting, you can glaze on top on under layers and create dazzling effects. Because of the thickness of the paint, and the type of colour used, this piece is taking weeks to dry!

Update: this piece is now available from Creative Fine Art, Marlborough.

Of course, I named him Talisker because of his beautiful whisky colours!

Painting session - Woodland Stag

This week I have changed the way that I work slightly to accommodate a couple of restrictions, and it has turned out to be in my favour. I spent yesterday painting this gentleman. I have used the same reference photo in a previous painting several years ago, and it was interesting for me, to return and see the differences in my own approach.

A new turquoise and gold scottish Highland Cow painting

Painting Highland Cow again this time with gorgeous turquoise and teal

I spent the week painting the Highland Cow in these lovely bright aqua shades.

Now freshly completed and getting dry in my studio this week. She has a very level and intense stare and is a dark ginger brown, with sunny highlights in her sweeping forelock. Painted with brushes, fingers and a palette knife, there is a lot of texture and movement in the piece. She is 30 x 40” / 80 x 100 cm, and this painting is now sold. Check out my new originals or why not commission your own custom Highland Cow art piece?
