I love cows. This statue standing outside a store in PEI, for me, was a no brainer - I had to paint her. The pose from the hind quarter made the composition interesting, but then the question became, "Who would want to hang the rear end of a cow on their wall"?! and that set me back for awhile. I decided the painting needed to be about vibrant colours and contrasting the smooth surface of the sculpture and the texture of the background. She makes me smile every time I walk around a corner and see her.
Now, I am about to begin painting my Km 0 image, having gridded all morning. A cannon sits facing the Atlantic Ocean guarding the eastern shore from invasion.
