Cow Eyes


I have been starting my day off with a quick sketch every morning. It is kind like my morning cup of coffee something to get me going and warm my mind.


Yesterday I did this sketch of a cow.
I wasn't sure if I could translate it into an oil painting so I thought I would do a small watercolor study first.

watercolor of a cow

A Cows View.
I paint what I know and growing up on a farm we had tons of fresh fruit and vegetables along with lots of animals to feed. One of the most important things an artist can do is get to know your subject. Take a lot of reference photos. When you paint animals it is best to take a lot of pictures from different angles. Now that phones have cameras in them you always have a camera ready to take a picture. My phone is one of the old kind so I still have to drag along my camera. I keep files of pictures taken from magazine,news paper,and down loaded from on line. I use them for references only.
When I am work on a quick study I use 140 lb cold pressed paper but when I am working on a more finished work I use 300lb because I like the durability of it.

I always start with a drawing. When I am working on a study I usually work right on the watercolor paper but when I am working on a larger work a do the drawing first on paper, make corrections, then draw it on the watercolor paper.

I use French Ultramarine and Burnt Umber for the darkest areas and that is where I start.
My Cows eyes are always a blue color, that is because when I was a kid I would up at the cows and their eyes always were a black with this blue high light to them and I would think gee cows have blue eyes.

Silent Geese

Silent Pond Geese
Silent Pond Geese, painting by Delilah Smith

About This Painting: I always have a little trouble giving a title to a painting. I have often thought about having someone else title the works for me. I have an artist friend who has contests to give titles to his abstract works. This painting of gesse seemed so still that I felt the title "Silent Pond Geese" seem to fit. I think it was the only time they were not making noise.

Chicken Chat

In this work I played with the different quality of watercolor. I combined clear transparent washes with opaque watercolor and gouache to add interest. I like to invent creatures taking what I know and changing it to fit my mood. In this painting I wanted to show the heavy roundness of fat hens.

Sheep


I finally went out a did some plien air painting today. It was cool but sunny when I started. I think I will give it another try again tomorrow. I saw some relay interesting weepy sunflowers that are calling to me to come back and at least sketch them and take some pictures.So I think I will be out painting again in the morning.



Today I painted sheep and took a few reference photo to work on later back in the studio. I liked the weathered look of this barn and the way the old tire was up against the side of it. Farmers always keep old tires that are not good enough to be used on the road to put on wagons that are used in the fields.

Cow No.2

A while ago I had painted a small cow painting and I had a collector request that I do a large one in a similar way for her. We sent emails back and forth to work out all the details. She wanted something large 30x40 for over her fireplace. I ask if she want the it horizontal 30x40 or vertical 40x30. She had request it be a 40x30 so I started on it a few days later she contacted me with her error that she really wanted a painting 40x30. Not a problem I had other canvas that size on hand and I did the painting and shipped it off.



So this painting which I had started and never finished has sat in the corner of the studio all this time. Those big cow eye just staring at me begging me to finish. Large paints are a ton of time and work not to mention the studio space they take up but it was started I got the brushes out and work all week and yahoo buckaroo it is completed.
