6" x 10" - oil on hardboard
On a recent trip to visit friends in Washington state, I had the opportunity to paint in the Skagit Valley. The area is full of small, picturesque farms and each one has its own charming barn. Some of the farms grow fruit such as strawberries, blueberries, apples and plums and some grow vegetables, hay or any combination of the three.
And some raise cattle. Throughout the day we were serenaded by this large herd of wonderful cows. They would come and go like the tide. Sometimes sneaking up quite close.
As long as we were painting they couldn't care less about us. But if I approached too closely with my camera, they would move off in another direction. I guess they needed their space. I did learn that grazing cows do not stay in one place and that taking their picture is a must if I ever want to paint them.

Another beautiful day in the Skagit Valley. The two barns that I painted were just east of the town of Sedro-Woolley.
