Holstein Cow, Standing, on Blue Background

This is a sweet painting I just finished yesterday afternoon.  She's a Holstein cow that I saw on my neighbor's field when I lived in Denmark last summer.  I couldn't decide on a background, and I love this color of blue that I had put down just to eliminate the white canvas color as I painted, so I decided to enhance it and keep it.  I like the look, modern but classical.

The painting is acrylic, on a stretched 16x20x3/4" canvas, and has been sold.

    I like the blue very much. The perfect foil for your sweet-faced cow!

    Thanks so much, Jen. As I often do, I have already made a small change to the painting. I wasn't happy with her hooves, so I have redone them - and lightened her front legs just a bit. I'm never happy . . . .
