Hillside Tapestry. Maleny. Qld

I was painting up at this spot for a couple of days. On the last day i looked up on the hillside and spotted some cows grazing on the egde of the hill. It was a long way to the bottom if they had slipped,but they hung on. I loved the blue of the sky against the yellow grasses of the hill. This was my inspiration for this painting. This would look great in any room with a beautiful frame around it. This was painted in oils on a mdf panel.Painted entirely on location.
