About this oil:
One of the delights of exploring the Texas Hill Country is coming across Longhorn Cattle in unexpected places. One morning as I was driving toward Fredricksburg, I passed through a remote, untamed area of short scrub and oak along the highway. The last thing in the world I expected to see there was a herd of Longhorn Cattle.
 
As I stopped to snap some photos, this "lady" kept me in her sights the whole time. I could tell she didn't quite trust my intentions there, so I grabbed the photos I needed and left them in peace.
 
What attracted me to paint this scene was the warmth of the sunlight striking the cow and the dried grasses at her feet. It almost looked like she was stepping out onto a carpet of gold.
 
Price includes a gallery-quality frame (shown). Other frame options are available.
