Taffy and her Calf #2

For several years I have been painting portraits of cows. This series began with our herd of cows from our farm in Virginia and expanded to include neighbors cows and cows seen in my travels.

I started my art career as a children's portrait painter but with our farm life quickly became an animal painter. In these portraits I seek to show the beauty, innocence , and individuality of these gorgeous creatures.

The love between a mother and child is universal in the animal kingdom. Bovines are the most loving of mothers.
