Boy with a Cow

"Boy with a Cow", 12 x 8 In, Oil on Panel
Continuing with the theme of figure proportion, a child's proportions are different from an adult and obviously more so the younger he or she is. I'm finding that doing these figure paintings is a really nice relief from still lifes.

Purchase this unframed painting.
Contact me if you would like to purchase a plein air frame.

  1. Kathyrn,
    This one is my favorite of the figuratives so far! So many wonderful things to look at in gorgeous colors and values. This just feels like it has a story and such universal appeal. Well done!

  2. Kathyrn-
    I have to second what the other commentator, Kathy, said. This is my favorite so far too. I like too that the close cropping gives a different sort of perspective.

  3. Really good! You are so good at creating a soft look with your edges and colors. I do like your figures - cows and humans! :-)

  4. Thank you all for your comments. The cow was definitely the biggest challenge. Makes me want to get one of those basic animal anatomy books--may try to find one at our local used bookstore today! Anyway--I really appreciate the feedback!
