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.

 

Animal Painting of a Goat - Mr. Handsome

Mr. Handsome

14x18 Original Oil Painting

Cheri Wollenberg

Thanks for stopping by.  I am glad to be back and blogging. It has been quite some time since I last posted. A change in my domain caused my blog to be down for a month.  I've painted a lot of paintings during that time, and I'm anxious to share them all with you.  Mr. Handsome is one of the goats I painted from a collection of photos my son took while working in Texas.  He has a customer who has a herd of goats and they are beautiful.  Each goat has a different design quality in texture, color and shape.  This particular goat has three horns...WOW.  The hairs on his chest were flowing in the wind which lent to the composition movement.  He has blacks,browns,sienna browns and ecru whites throughout the design of his face and coat hair. I thought this mustard green made a perfect background for his portrait.  He was a delight to paint, and I look forward to painting others.  This goat painting is for sale here.

Clyde - Portrait of a Suffolk Lamb

Clyde

14x14 Oil on Canvas

Cheri Wollenberg

Clyde is a Suffolk lamb.  He is gentle and dependent on his master.  He is very well cared for.  He eats only the best food and his stalls are kept clean and perfectly comfortable.  He is shown in stock shows among other lambs who have been tenderly loved, groomed and exercised to reach their maximum beauty and muscular fitness.  His master thinks he is the best lamb in the show ring.  He is loved unconditionally and will always have a place in the heart of his master.  Such is the life of a show lamb who belongs to 4-H and FFA children.  This original painting was done as a gift for a friend's daughter.  Prints may be purchased of him on my Fine Art America artist website here:

Cow Painting of Charlene

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.
