Cows are my favourite animal. That's no secret. And the Brahman cows are particularly inquisitive and communicative. I wanted to paint something peaceful and this family come to visit me every morning to say hello. The one on the far right is the Matriarch and she loves a scratch. She was just walking over to ask for one as I took the photo that this painting is based on. I removed the fence since I think most of us prefer to see them unrestrained.
