"It All Started With a Misunderstanding"
5 x 7 oil on panel
I departed from the usual (such as "usual" is thus far) with this piece and experimented a lot more with paint and texture layering using various rough, old brushes and credit cards. My illustration style has always incorporated textures (as I love texture) so I figured it was high time to start working some textures into my painting as well. This piece was a blast to work on, but I can tell for future paintings there's going to be a lot of drying time involved to get the look I'm aiming for.
07/22/10 Update: I've replaced the image with a newer one after making some changes to the foremost cow. The photo is still far yellower than the original though.

this is really charming Shane. something about cows...they have an everlasting appeal dont you think. i love the arrangement, the way you have them all dispersing.
Hello Sally, thanks for the comments! I had a lot of fun working on this piece and trying out a more textural, layered style. I also plan on adding a few more details to the foremost cow to bring some added realism to the piece so it doesn't get too abstract. I'll update this post when I do.
Thanks again!
