This portrait sketch of the Highland cow is so familiar and covered by numerous painters. Little surprise as its so gorgeous - with those woeful eyes and flowing locks. Needs some wild colours!!!

They fascinate me. Having lost the original I decided to repaint the image from a photo that I had kept.

Very large strokes and keeping it alive and fresh.
