"Peaceful Pasture" Oil Painting

8x10
Oil
Fresh off my easel is this oil painting of a steer and her calf alone in a field. My reference photo was the basis of this painting which was taken on a friends farm near Hunterstown many years ago. Since I was raised on a farm,  I get excited when I can visit a farm to take pictures for painting references.
