"Hereford Bull"

SOLD

"Hereford Bull"

Small Painting Series

I thought I would throw together this Hereford bull small painting to take along with us to the Annual Red Bluff Bull and Gelding Sale. It takes me back to my 4-H days when I had the Reserve Grand Champion Hereford steer. Come by and see us at the fairgrounds if you are in the Red Bluff, California area January 25-29!!

"Mrs. Holstein"
Small Painting Series
4" x 5" Original

We were recently on a photo shoot and came across this awesome dairy in Northern California. Because we will be attending the Red Bluff Bull and Gelding Sale, I wanted to paint something to take along. I couldn't resist #1207 as my subject for a couple of reasons: This is Pearl Harbor Day and my dad is a Pearl Harbor survivor and it is also the wedding anniversary of my dear friend in Cape Town, South Africa.
