I posted an earlier version of this painting on my blog yesterday, but this morning I couldn't resist going back in to add more contrast on the cow herself, and now I am happy with the painting. I painted this one with Dr. Ph. Martin transparent watercolor paints. They are liquid and handle differently than the tube paints. As usual I painted with a limited palette of only five colors, but atypical for me was my use of black in this painting. My paintings are always in evolution, but I think that I am the work in progress. So here she is—final answer—Sunrise Pink Cow.
