Happy Cows in Harmony, California

Wednesday September 26, 2012 at Harmony, California. At the Elizabeth Tolley workshop, painting a delightful farm and happy moo’n cows. Cloudy cool morning, but the sun and warm breezes warmed us all up nicely by 11:00. After completing, I set this painting up along one of those telephone poles – further down the line - neighbors, and of course a breeze came, stirring up some loose straw, and found their way onto the wet oil paint. Long since dry, I haven’t wanted to wipe the straw off, it’s kind of endearing and a good lesson learned to not set your paintings down on the grass when still wet.
