My website https://jocastilloart.comMarch 3, 2020 at 10:51 pm #954336Almost done with the calf! It is turning out fine.
I’m commenting on some of your blog posts, Jo, but not sure I’m doing it right or if any show up.

The warm browns against the cool greens are beautiful not to mention the expressive brushwork. Awesome painting!

A Painter's QuestMarch 5, 2020 at 9:14 am #954348Christel, that is a wow! I like the way you did the distance and the added rider is excellent. Applause!
Kay, I love your calf. I think I’ve mentioned that my mom always called them blossoms when you could see their white faces poking up in the distance. Well done! I checked on my blog, spam, etc. Your comments aren’t there. Blogger has been experimenting with a new style folder for comments and maybe your comments got lost in the shuffle. It works most of the time. Sorry. I do appreciate the visits!
Hi to all the rest. I hope to paint the calf soon!

March 5, 2020 at 8:07 pm #954355Christel, this is beautiful, and I like the added rider for interest. Your painting tells a story. The rider has such great gesture. Well done!
Kay, this is wonderful! I love your brilliant touch of shadow and light on the calf’s bright white face. Excellent work!
