Welcome to cowsoncanvas.com
I started painting cows in 2002 after a meaningful chat with a Hereford in a field in Norfolk. We (me and the cow, Spike) bonded over a barbed wire fence. She snorted sweet breaths at me through her velvety nostrils as a globule of spittle dangled from her whiskery chin. I determined then that I would paint her and one cow lead to another....
Living in Dorset, I am never short of a willing model. Peering over a five bar gate or hedge, the inquisitive cows are keen to provide a snort and a dribble at the camera lens.
I prefer to think of my paintings as portraits, trying to capture the cow's personality whilst exploring their colour and texture. I hope you enjoy meeting the cows on this website.
If you really like them, you can buy prints and originals on this website.
