Mabel the Cow

This cow portrait is painted with vibrant colors, rendered with loose, expressive brushstrokes that give the piece a sense of energy and life. The cow’s features—its eyes, ears, and gentle expression—are captured with bold, dynamic strokes of warm hues like orange, pink, and yellow, creating a contrast against the cool, soft blue background. The brushwork is fluid and textured, adding depth and movement to the cow portrait.
