"Friends" 12" x 24" Oil on canvas


I think cows are intelligent creatures and they form relationships with each other like we do.  While one cow might not be accepted by the rest another might be designated a leader and these leaders are usually the most popular cows.  I wanted to catch these two friends who obviously have a close bond, as this close contact and social interaction is important for them.  Even if it does look like they are just having a scratch;o)

  3. Love your painting Sam! In my opinion you are spot on with your conclusion with the cows. I have a lot of years experience and have seen first hand friendship and bonding. Cows RULE!

  4. You really make me want to turn vegetarian Sam - If I start to think about these beautiful animals and the way you humanise them, I just can't bear the thought of eating them!!!
