Cows at Headland Edge, Watercolor Painting Landscape with Animals

No one told these cows to go there.  They just go straight there one after another and lined up at the edge of the headland.  They caught my interest.  I followed them at a distance to see what they did.  After I set up my gear under a tree near by.  I started to draw.  Some enjoyed the grass, some actually stopped and gazed at the sun over the sea.  By the look they love the light glittering on the wet grass, they love the view!  I love the light under their round belly!  I think they were rushing to the edge to enjoy the breakfast with sun rise, sea view and fresh grass!  I am amazed that the cows love the same view as I do.  I was pleased and stunned at the result of the painting.  At first I only tried to capture one.  Now I got the whole lot painting direct!...  never know what I can until I try.  The results often surprise me..

A moment later, the cows walked back in line to the opposite end of the field.  Then it's time for my cup of tea!

Cows in the Park, Watercolor Painting Landscape with Animals

I like the mix of pattern and colours of the herd of cows.  The morning light threw their shadow toward the foreground and gave back lighting effect!  and the park setting with different foliages make the scene so tempting!  When I finished and looked at the painting, I feel happy.  Couldn't get better, a magnificent outdoor theatre for the cows!  They are really glorious!

FARM YARD PARTY, Watercolor Painting Farm Animals, Chicken

The third paintings of the bold stroke style fulfilled my thirst of visualizing and reconciling with my memories, my dream to play and have fun in the farm.  The fun that I could have never had if I had not started the series.  Looking at the finished painting, memories flooded back and hold me in the farm yard dream for a while, a farm yard party.  I might have been the hen wondering what on earth going on in the back!

FARM YARD LUNCH, Watercolor Painting Farm Animals, Chicken

When I was a young child, just by chance, I got to know the chicken, holding them, stroking them gently and felt the warmth under their feathers.  These feelings got into my memories.  The golden brown hens were my favorite.  They seem to be the best mum!  The thought of painting them terrified me.  However, as usual, I closed my eyes and decided to jump in.  "At least I try" I thought to myself.  I paint and I paint imagining the day I felt their body in my arm..  when I finished, I was surprised with my own picture!  That childhood memory has never gone away!

I used bold brush strokes to capture the lively and direct interaction of these chicken, actually I should say hens and rooster because these animals, by the look of it, do take their favorite partner seriously!

Chicken Yard (3), Watercolor Painting Farm Animals

How did I jump in as a terrified painter and came out as a hysterically happy one?  It's a miracle!  I did not believe in miracle myself but I could not explain it any other way.  These three chicken paintings were the first in my life!  I painted every other thing but never a chicken yard.  Their characters, forms, colors and liveliness terrify me.  Looking at the paintings I am happy but more terrified than before because I could not explain how.  It was the most exhilarating painting process.  It gave me confidence and courage!  That's what I meant "We do receive a lot more from the animals!"  I realized they help me to understand one mystery in the art world that Good Art comes from Love!

Chicken Yard (2), Watercolor Painting Farm Animals

More chicken with the same technique!  I now have the whole chicken farm in my head.  I love to see the natural world in the animals.  It was such a happy scene!  I hope by exhibiting their charm and beauty in art people might like to have the enjoyment of their company and hopefully farming practice would change a little bit.  We do receive a lot from these animals.  Set them free then we will receive a lot more, the understanding of nature and relationship is priceless.  They remind me how simple a perfect life could be!

Chicken Yard (1), Watercolor Painting Farm Animals

One day I plucked the courage to paint free hand the scene that I thought impossible, the chicken yard! The thought of capturing characters, interaction, liveliness of a group of chicken using the most challenging medium like watercolor frightened me.  I kept the idea for a long time until one day I decided to give it a go.  If I failed then I would know my limit.  I jumped in with a big juicy brush and kept moving the brush non stop.  Here it is!  Painting number 1 of a terrified painter.  Pew!  the result was terrific!  Better than I though...  I am moving to number 2...  Confidence with the chicken was a reward!
