This was commissioned by a lady who saw my painting called “Rocky Hill Reunion” at the show in the fall. It was sold, and she asked me to paint it again for her. Of course I said yes. (The last solo show I had at this location resulted in my saying yes FIVE times to the SAME PAINTING! – Lots of Sawtooth, Almost Finished, so I did a #7, which sold in December of this year.)
This one is a little bit bigger than the previous version, and I simply titled it “Moo”.
You are probably curious about the previous version, which I titled “Rocky Hill Reunion”.
And this one is called Tulare County’s Best II, 24×24″, $1500 (There, Krista, see? I raised my price!)
Studio paintings: slow, careful, no rush, no plein air pressure to finish in one sitting (standing) and leave much looking as if you need a new prescription in your eyeglasses.

The detail of the original Rocky Hill Reunion gives it depth and a sense of being there that is wonderful. I hope the new Moo can capture that feeling that makes the original so special and alive! That is what you are known for. 🙂
I hope so too, Louise. I think the customer was happy with it because when I sent her the scan, she said she was ready to come pick it up.
