Cows Day Off painting Barry Tate Gallery of Fine Art - acrylic paintings and watercolor paintings

COWS DAY OFF!

What a fun painting to do!

While painting on location at the BC Ferries Market near Victoria, a neighboring venor suggested I do a garden path. I said OK and immediately started on a new painting. Soon it started to look like the beginnings of a park. Another vendor came by and jokingly said "Hey, where are the cows?"
I said, OK and quickly sketched a cow on a separatepiece of paper, then placed it around the painting to see where it might go. When it landed on the water someone else said "Ha!, it looks like she is on an air mattress!" I liked the idea so down it went complete with a bright red mattress.

Soon everyone was having fun putting in their 2 cents worth, even the customers. Should have someone reading... you need a hay wagon...
There is now a park artist who is painting a stick figue of a human and 2 calves hidding in the hay!

ORIGINAL PAINTING:

30" x 40" acrylic on 3/4" clean-edge canvas. ( 28x38 face dimension )
A clean-edge painting can simply be hung "as is" for a modern contemporary look, or by using an optional frame that suits your decor.

GICLÉE PRINT
Giclée prints are the best type of reproductions available today.
They are supplied with a double acid free mat and foam backing board. All you need is a common 16x20" frame.
Mat options are:
    silver gray with dark blue inner mat - nice traditional look that fits well. A mid to dark colored frame looks best
    dark blue on dark blue - dramatic and bold look, very powerful. Best with a light colored frame like metallic or wood.
    white on white - traditional gallery choice, classy and elegant. Goes with all decors. Best with a mid to medium dark frame.
