What is it About Cows?
I paint wolves all the time. It makes sense. I’m a dog person. I live with a dog. In the past, I lived with four dogs. Not just dogs, Siberian huskies! I might as well have been living with wolves. Painting wolves makes so much sense. So why do I love cows? I never lived on a farm. I did grow up in the country, but not really in the country. It was certainly not you’d call rural. We lived less than two hours outside of New York City. It was more “country” than country. And yet, I really do love cows! And I love to paint them! Today, after taking a fairly long painting break, I headed intot he studio and set to work on a new cow painting. I just love to paint cows!

Nic’s Baby Cow
16" x 20" Acrylic on Canvas Board
This is one of my favorite paintings! It started out very rigid and just wasn’t working until the cow just found her way out of the paint.

This was one of my first cows. I have created quite a few and have many more in my head…stay tuned!
Three Little Cows
Three Little Cows, by Kathryn Armstrong, 2009
Yesterday, I completed a painting that I have been “thinking about” for months. “Three Little Cows” has been painting itself in my mind forever, I just couldn’t seem to get it onto the canvas.
For 2009 I made the resolution that I would do a lot more painting. I have two more paintings that I want to complete before I go back to work on Monday. Both are watercolors, so I should be able to do it. And if I have time, I want to try painting on some of the home-made, recycled paper that my husband made from all of the junk-mail that gets shredded up around here.
