On my easel...

Illinois Pastoral Scene 

this was a quick under-painting on a 18" x18" canvas.  For some reason I had a hard time painting yesterday...I want to start with the palette knife today and get some thick layers of paint on.  My reference photo that I was using was from a trip to Illinois last November.  A drive through the countryside landed us on an Amish farm.  I thought these herefords were interesting, because of the markings and usually you don't see cattle lying in the pasture.  Here is my photo:

Thanks for viewing...more to come tomorrow.
Today's post is Painting #24 for the 30 Paintings/30 Days Challenge.
