You're Right, That's Not a Horse!




I mentioned that I was painting my first cow. Well, here he is. This is 7 x 5 oil on Raymar cotton canvas panel. Seems this poor fellow has the same problem our little Mini Jube does - he hasn't got a name yet! So all I can call him is the dun Galloway calf! He's pretty cute. I hope to paint more of these guys in future!

A Busy Barnyard - I Mean, Studio!


I had two paintings on the go today - one of which I finished. Being Wednesday, I completed the next painting of Jubie's baby (who you'll hear me calling Jubaby for reference only!). You had a little preview of my reference shot last week, and above is the resulting 6 x 8 oil on Raphael linen panel.

My other painting is also a small one - 5 x 7 - and also a baby, but a different species. I'm painting a little Galloway calf. He's not finished yet, so you'll have to wait a while to see him.

Sunday was a big day at Woodbine - both the Canadian Oaks and Plate Trial Stakes. It's just about time for me to do some Plate Preview paintings, so I went to get some pics for that. Looks like the fillies may be well represented again this year. I think we're due a filly winning the Plate!
