YES, I can see my breath! (I love you, cold mornings)



Along with the elaborate task of compiling promo pieces, I have completed a new commission. Briefs don't get any better than 'Please draw a Highland Cow'. And I shall, with pleasure! Isn't it fitting for the season? It is the bovine embodiment of Autumn for me :)
Oh, and it's a noteworthy day on my Countdown Calendar, with exactly two months until I am reunited with Monsieur Pickle (he isn't French) for Christmas. Since those two weeks are sure to fly by once they finally arrive, I don't want to build up to it too much. Oh well, today I'll allow myself just a small helping of excitement. I realise I am only person on the planet already looking forward to Christmas. But I've got to go against public opinion this year. December being is eagerly awaited in this little corner of England!

  2. What a great bovine!! Nice expression on his face and beautiful use of color. I have yet to make the leap into color so I definitely appreciate this!

  6. I love cows too, but I've never had the pleasure of meeting one like this. But your lovely painting made me smile! nancy

    p.s., I can't wait for Christmas, either. Our grandbaby will be visiting (they live 10 hours away), and I'm very excited. Today I did some Christmas shopping!

  7. OH, I LOVE him! I just put some curly 'oreo' cows on my blog, and was thinking how the hair was similar to this kind of cow. They look cuddly! You did a great job.
