Charolais Shadows

Charolais Cattle are generally a creamy white color, but I discovered many shades of blue and lavender within the shadows on this sunny winter day.  Click here for purchase information.

Cold But Beautiful

We are certainly in the deep freeze in Montana - it was 22 degrees below zero when we got up the other morning and there have been several mornings like that this year. I'm sure glad I am not a cow, although they are well equipped for the weather if they get enough feed. The winter brings snow and ice, but it also offers color combinations and inspiration for new paintings. I love the blue-black of the cattle set against the warm white, cool whites and the long blue shadows. Eastern Montana can be somewhat bleak in the winter, but we have had enough snow to cover everything in a nice thick, white blanket this year - cold but beautiful.

Blue Roan #2

Here is another version of a Blue Roan. This one seems actually bluer than the previous post, just as in nature, some blue roans are more grey, some seem more blue. SOLD

Dance with a Mad Bull

Bulls are amazingly agile for their bulky size. This one whips around to punish the cowboy who was on his back just seconds ago. For purchase info click here.
