There are a lot of ups and downs to being a professional artist.  One of the best parts is the way the art brings a connection with the viewers who see the same thing that I do in my subjects.  To me, cows as a subject for paintings are not just generic objects, they are personalities with feelings and attitude.

I receive a lot of wonderful comments, and I'd like to express my deep appreciation to those who take the time
to let me know how my artwork makes them feel so I'm going to start posting a few of my favorites as they come in. 

This comment just came in last night, from "Jessica"

:	I am a farmer and I have always loved paintings of cattle. Your paintings are the best that I have seen. I love the expression that you catch in each of your paintings. I look at cattle everyday and your paintings are so..."real". "That Look", you nail it every time.

"That Look" being exactly what I'm after, what could be better to read than a comment like this?
Thank you Jessica for making my day!
