Warrawillah Cattle: Westy, Bellyache & Mexican

Warrawillah Cattle: Westy, Bellyache & Mexican

Oils 36”x24” on canvas board (2006)
Commission – SOLD

This painting was a commission that took several months to complete. I took individual photos of the bull & the cows & combined them into this portrait. The background is actually the paddock where the bull lives, a farm located past Wingham, in the Manning Valley NSW.

After wandering around the many cows & calves with the camera I picked out the most colourful ones to paint alongside the bull. The large brindle Brahma cow was a spectacular animal so she was one of the main choices.
The gum trees in the background were a perfect setting for
the portrait.

    This is by FAR your best artwork Louise….I’m utterly gobsmacked!!!

  • louisegreen replied

    Yes I agree, it is my best work…actually the owner commissioned another 2 paintings after this 1. I’m gobsmacked with all the wonderful comments from people such as yourself in RedBubble. The greatest compliment an artist can receive is one from another artist.

    This is absolutely stunning work Louise!
    I love the setting, reminds me of my old property in gippsland, victoria :-)

  • louisegreen replied

    Thank you very much Maddy, this is a lovely farm where these animals reside. All are in beautiful condition, there was about 70 to photograph that day – amazing colours, pretty little calves & I walked around with the camera for ages trying to get them all. These were my pick to paint alongside the bull.

  • louisegreen replied

    Hi Denise – thanks for all your comments. There are so many artists on RB, to see. Don’t know if I will see them all either – all 100,000 or more of them. Glad you dropped by & took the time to comment, I appreciate it very much:-)

    One clever artist, the muscle structure is spot on. The bull has a very ‘feminine’ head but a gr8 bod.
    Love the names especially Bellyache.

    Thank you Temma, appreciate your visit:-0

    Really excellent work Louise! What an amazingly detailed painting and the background ‘greeness’ complements the warm colours in the cattle perfectly. The person you did this for must have been absolutely delighted!

  • louisegreen replied

    Thanks for your lovely comments Lynda, sorry I missed replying.
    The owners are very proud of this painting, in fact they commissioned 2 other works after this one. There was so much work in this actual painting, but I was very pleased with the final result.

    Beautiful work. I wouldn’t mind that little group at my place at Capertee.

  • louisegreen replied

    Aw thanks Deborah, the owner is very proud of his cattle, they are all in great condition. I would have loved to take the big brindle Brahma girl home, she was outstanding.
