curious cow


This is a painting I did from a photograph I took in the mountains last year. The calf just seemed to be asking me what I was doing or maybe just posing for the photo op! Ha! I tried to incorporate a few things I have been learning from my fellow "brush-ka-teers". The main thing was to have the focal area with contrast. I lightened the grass behind the calf to bring even more attention to the head. I also "washed/glazed" the back of the lean to to keep your focus forward. Let me know what you think. Thanks for looking, Dean
