Milk Break

Milk Break, oil, 5x7", $109

I took the reference photos for this painting a few years ago when I lived in the farming community of Manchester, Michigan. It was spring and this little one was adorable!

    Hi Susan! Thank you. I love your cows...reminds me of Rita Kirkman's. I have always loved cows and one day hope to get around to painting more. I come across the free range ones on my hikes, real up close and personal! Happy painting.

    This is beautiful. My daughter really wants a horse. I think she might get a horse painting instead! I hope you are enjoying the challenge. I am glad I got to see your work.

    Thank you, Lillian! I loved horses as a youngster and knew my parents would never own one...that's how I got into drawing and painting because of my love of horses, I drew them all the time!
