Happy Holsteins

These cows were found while in California on our drive from Bolinas to the Point Reyes Lighthouse. It was actually an overcast day, but the sky was bright and the hills couldn't have been any greener. Everything about it was just beautiful.

It doesn't escape me that a painter from Wisconsin found cows in California. :)

Lighthouse Reflection

Lately I have been feeling a bit frustrated with my knives. I love the thick application, but I'm struggling with atmosphere or all of the "stuff" behind a subject in a photo or painting. I have committed to using knives exclusively (for the time being anyway!) and so am hoping to find a solution that works for me.

This painting makes me happy to look at--love the water and all the blues. The lighthouse was an added bonus. Enjoy!
