Cattle in November-Catherine

It’s November, and I’m back at Seawind Meadows, in Dennis. Lucky to have a chance to paint Nicky enjoying a pumpkin breakfast this close!

I decided to focus on the cattle and not a full landscape today.

Focusing on only what was in front of me gave me a chance to have fun painting the cattle. The stone wall and tree trunks were added at the beginning for color notes and composition. I believe this study breaks the rules “two trees, two cattle odd numbers.. etc.. funny how that happens!! Thank you! Catherine

This week I visited Seawind Meadows farm in Dennis and practiced painting longhorn cattle.

I first met Laura, who is a vender at the Orleans Farmers Market, for link click here. Laura’s family farm is named Seawind Meadows, for link click here.

Here is my painting of Sileas!

The cattle were moving, but thanks to their curiosity, and the hay, they stayed close. Fyi… still loving my Strada Easel and my ArtCocoon!!! -Catherine
