Cow Challenge

I've never painted cows before but always wanted too. Now I want to paint more cows! I took the photo from the challenge, cropped it to a square size to use on my 6"x 6" boards. I then concentrated my efforts on accurate colour mixing and lively brushstrokes. Not meaning too but it seems I've channeled Van Gogh in some of my paint strokes, especially in the grass. Not necessarily a bad thing!
