This is a simple small oil painting showing cows grazing in a summer meadow. Lots of greens I know - but I like green. The painting also has my favourite colour, the lovely cheerful yellow, helping with the focal point just under the large oak tree with cattle stood amongst sunlit buttercups.
I placed one brown cow amongst the 'splodges' of black and white cattle just to give a little colour contrast for the eye to pick up and match with the few reddish brown patches amongst all the green. The sky is worked quickly, using the same brush strokes as the foliage and grass to help unify the painting.
