"Friendly Cow" and "Sunlit Sheep" by Taryn Day

I'm starting a series of animal paintings, with farm animals being the obvious kind to start off with (I live in Bucks County).  These are both 6"x6", oil on panel.

I love how your chiseled brush strokes create a patchwork quilt effect, especially in the background of the cow painting. Just great Taryn!

And I love the way you create a scupltural look with those overlapping planes of color.

I really enjoy the style you have. You are able to reach a very nice level of realism with suggestive brush strokes instead of fine detail. That is a great skill to have if one can acquire it, which you obviously have. Your work also has great composition and balance and a fine creative element, using lights and darks. The objects in your works are simple, yet you pull off very creative works through your style. Very nice. I might not always comment on these, but I always enjoy seeing them.

I love these, just LOVE them. I agree with everything said above, and wish I could even begin to describe the visceral reaction I get when viewing your exceptional work.

Thank you so much Deborah, Debra and Claire!
