This oil painting of the cow was one of my all time favorite cows to paint. "She" was a commission from a couple that purchased the black and white cow "Got Milk, that is also listed here in my blog. The two were purchased from the Roanoke Sidewalk Show, May 2014.

Fresh Radishes

Setting up this still life was an interesting challenge. It turned out to be just as interesting to paint. I called it Fresh Radishes because the radishes were so fresh, beautiful green with a gorgeous red. Using the old crochet table cloth worked well in this, I think. The painting is a watercolor and the size unframed 20x30, it is matted and framed.

Praise the Lord it sold and Robbin is doing great!
