Cows at West Kingsdown. 12x17, oils on board.


This was painted from a photo that I took at West Kingsdown after I painted the Windmill. I was more fascinated with the House. It looked gorgeous with the Sun on it, and the dark cloud approaching

  1. This is a gorgeous painting Vic. Quite a bit bigger than your usual panel size too. Nice moody sky and a very English landscape! I love the grazing cows - they really are super. I just can't do convincing looking animals at all. All the best mate. Michael.

  4. Good morning Michael.
    I`m glad you like it mate. I really enjoyed painting this one. I thought it warranted a larger board, so thats where the 12"x17" came in.
    I use the following sizes. 6x8, 9x12 and 12x17. The two larger sizes are mdf boards with two thick coats of Acrylic gesso. I love your latest Sketches Michael. I`m going to chack out them Moleskinse ( oops!, nearly left out the E). Thanks for the inf` mate All the best.
