How Now Brown Cow 40" x 30" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Bovine Series Standing in his field, this contemporary cow is looking right at you.  He has the stare going on, and he is as still as a statue.  I had seen this handsome guy at the Ft. Worth Stock Show and had to paint him.  He is dry and ready to hang on the wall.  I painted the sides of the gallery wrap canvas, so framing is optional. Contact  Kay Wyne  for purchasing information.  Thanks, Kay

I'm Listening! 20" x 20" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas This contemporary bovine is  my work for Day # 25 in the 30/30 Paint Challenge . This is a good looking short-horn was at the LBJ Ranch, and I loved the way the left ear was perked up as if he was listening to our conversation.  I have had this Hereford sitting on my easel for a month or so...I think I am finished with it.  Here is a close up of the right ear: I really liked the way the ear turned out...actually it is my favorite part about this painting!  I will let this one dry in the studio, and maybe make a few modifications here and there, but I signed it, and it is pretty much finished.  I don't know what I will be working on tomorrow, but as you can see the month of January is coming to an end....only five more posts on the challenge!  If you have any comments or questions, please contact  Kay Wyne .  Thanks for looking at this blog.  Kay

Buttercup Contemporary Cow 18" x 24" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas I completed this painting in the studio today.  I just made some minor changes that have an impact on this Buttercup...her colors are so warm and rich.  So buttery....I thought that Buttercup was ideal for her name.  Hi lights and low lights and some random splashes of turquoise and coral punch it up.  For the most part I used a flat wide brush, but in the end, used a small filbert to scrub in some color and abstract lines.  Contact  Kay  for more information and photos on Buttercup.  Have an artful day.....KMW

How Now Brown Cow (this is a temporary name for the painting, until I decide on title!) 40" x 30" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Cow Framing is optional, as the sides of canvas are painted. I think I am finished with this painting.  It is sitting on my easel, and I will take a few days to step away from it and see if I need make any adjustments.  This beauty was over at the Ft. Worth Stock Show in February this year, and I decided to put him out in a field on my canvas.  I may need to re-take the photo, as the colors don't look as true in the photo as they do standing in front of the canvas. Here is my reference photo...I thought he was beautiful standing there in the barn, getting ready to be shown. His coat was clean and blown-dry.  I think he traveled from Illinois to Ft. Worth for the stock show.  Below is a a close-up of the eye.   Thanks for looking at this blog, and if you have any questions or comments concerning th...

Cowgirl 20" x 20" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Cow This painting is currently hanging in the studio...I need to varnish it, and then it will be ready to go to a gallery.  Cowgirl has beautiful coloring, and a soft, pink snout that you want to reach out and touch.  She is looking directly at you, as if she has something on her mind.  Cowgirl was at the Ft. Worth Livestock Show last month.  I have some great reference photos, so there are more cows coming!  Thanks for looking at this blog.  Contact  Kay  for more information on this painting or any of the art posted.  Have a great day....Kay

   Cowgirl 20" x 20" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Cow from the Ft. Worth Stock Show I just finished this painting yesterday in the studio.  John and I had gone over to the Ft. Worth Stock Show a few weeks ago, and I was taking a few pics when we were walking through the barns with long-time friend Scott Schwerer, from Blandinsville, Illinois.  He is a cattle guy....and we learned alot, saw alot and had fun that day.  I don't know what this cow's name really is, but John Wyne appropriately named her Cowgirl.  That works for me.   Here are a few photos of Day #1:  when I drew the cow out on the canvas and started doing my rough sketching.  I started with a 20" x 20" canvas, and painted a base color of a Titan Buff so that I was not working on a stark white canvas.  Some artists draw with charcoal or pencil, but I skip that part and go straight for my brush and oils.  I don't have enough patience to go throug...
