Large Highland Cow painting just finished

Large Atmospheric Highland Cow Oil Painting

She’s just gorgeous. This is ‘Rannoch Moor’ and she measures 78 x 102 cm so rather a big girl. Reminiscent of the rugged, windswept beauty of the Scottish countryside. An oil painting on stretched canvas, this piece is gallery wrapped ready to hang unframed

If you would like a closer look at this piece, please click through to her listing, here on my website.

Rannoch Moor is suitable for international shipping if required. Please contact me for an up to date shipping quotation to your overseas location.

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.

Big Colourful Canvas

Work in progress on the easel 76 x 102 cm

A new big colourful Canvas is nearing completion, I have some adjustments to make to his nose and horns, so this is the final editing and finishing stage. The colours are quite a bit more rich and dark than you can see here, particularly in the top right corner. The painting is so shiny and will be so for several days as it takes time to dry. This piece is 76 x 102 cm and will be for sale on my ‘originals’ page, ready to ship once dry

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?
