I was driving north of Motley today to visit a home up by Walker for an article for Lake and Home Magazine. When I looked over my left shoulder, I saw a wall of black. At first I wondered what it was. Then I realized it was a large herd of angus cattle. You don't often see large herds of cattle anymore. I see more collapsed barns than herds of cattle.
This composition of black and white is a result of seeing that herd this morning. The painting method used yesterday was employed again today: a thick layer of background paint topped with a single color applied in loose brushstrokes. It took a few more strokes than yesterday. I tried to use only enough to suggest the cattle's shapes.
