Description
Honored to announce that "Curious Cows" received the honor of Administrator's Choice for 3rd Place in the contest ~ Cattle Being Cattle, 3rd Prize ~ in the Fine Art America "Cattle in Nature Settings" contest 2/18/19. Many sincere thanks to the contest administrator, Susan Janus and the jurors. Congratulations to the other winners!!
A small herd of ten cows gather at the edge of a golden field on a farm in Maryland. The path leading into the woods behind them takes our eyes to a small vine-covered weathered-red barn. It's a warm, late summer afternoon and the Black Angus and Holstein and Jersey cows gaze back at us with curiosity. With their big brown eyes and perked ears they seem shy but so friendly.
This is one of those images that to really "get" it, you'll have to click in and do the green magnifier on their eyes. I really had a lot of fun emphasizing them and I think those sweet brown eyes are what really, subtly tell the story.
I may never eat another burger in my life.
Image sketched and painted by hand, digitally, and very loosely based on one of my own photos using Corel Painter 2019, a Wacom tablet, the art pen stylus and a wide variety of beautiful digital brushes.
Fine art purchases of this image will not include a watermark, and if I may make a recommendation ... it will look its very best on the fine art paper choice of "picture rag."
