THOSE BELTED GALLOWAYS

As we water the plants at Aldermere Farm in upper 80 degree heat we notice those Belted Galloways crowding themselves in the shade.   I stand there watching them, thinking, "they are smart enough to find a
​little comfort out of the sun."

One looks up at me holding a camera, just curious as to what I am trying to do.    My buddies and I would set up our easels and spend a couple of hours magically painting these lovely animals.   

Here are examples of my attempt to capture the essence of that cow!

Now this picture tells a story of one posing and ready to be painted...   
from a photo, not in the HEAT!
