Elvira - A Cow Painting

30x30 Original Oil on Canvas

Cheri Wollenberg

 

 

"Elvira" is a large 30x30 oil painting of a crossbred Charolais cow. This portrait of her is set against a neutral colored background to feature the light that is wrapping around her neck, ears and head. The blues on her coat are not quite as vivid as the image shows.  The light was not quite right when I photographed her and there was a lot of flashing so I had to make adjustments on my camera and it didn't work quite right:)  This is on my to-do list so you can return to see a better image.  Her ears are perked up and she is ready to be viewed on a mantel or any eating area (kitchen) décor.

Elvira can be bought in my Etsy store here.

 

Cow Painting of Ms Petunia

18x18 Oil on Canvas

Lately I have wanted to paint white petunias.  Painting whites are a challenge for me.  As all artists know...to paint whites you need to stay away from white!!!!  I also have so many reference photos of cows.  My son is a commission cattleman.  He also runs stocker cattle year round that graze almost in our backyard,  so I have a wealth of beautiful and diverse breeds and mixbreeds to choose as models for my cow paintings.  That being said.....I came across this beautiful Charolais cow photo and decided to paint her instead of the petunias.  Her name came very easy to me (laugh).  She is my flower for this week! She is listed in my Etsy Store.  Just click Petunia and you'll find her.

I never tire of painting cows.  Moving back to the farm will bring new fresh subjects for me.  I look forward to this chapter in my life.  This painting is of a young Charolais bovine.  She looks like a show animal, regal and clean....ready to show off for a crowd.  This painting is in a collection for a gallery show coming up.  If you are interested in her, you'll have to contact me personally.

Cow Painting of Charlene

12x12 Original Oil Painting by

Cheri Wollenberg

This painting features a young British White Cross that was on my son's ranch for a while. I think she is fine and I thought Charlene was a good name for her. She has an innocence about her, don't you think? She is set against a dark red background which seems to accentuate her white coat.
