Started New Cattle Painting

I started this more than a week ago. But last Portland visit last weekend and some big updates at ArtsWest Artist Association(AWAA) web site kept me away from making progress on this painting. I took the photo in June when I painted outside (see the post on 6/27/10). Size is 14"x18" on standard stretcher bars. I decided to make animal pieces smaller based on consideration of better chances for sale. I titled this "Family Time" because the front cow seemed to be a mother of cubs behind. I'm not sure the black one is actually the father of them though.
