Mooooooo

I swear I don't know what gets in to me some days, I really don't. I woke up this morning with a notion to draw cows. I have had almost no experience around cows and have never tried to draw one. Why would I if they aren't really in my world?

While I was looking around for something to draw this morning, sitting with a cluster of boys at Juvenile Hall, I noticed one of their books, How to Draw 50 Animals. The first page was a cow! I used the lesson to decorate another page in my 2010 Moleskine planner. I've just about finished all the spreads for January.



This evening I tried to put cows in context using photos I took in September when Youngest Daughter and I went on a camping trip on the Russian River. There were cows on the property.

I snapped several pictures to use as photo references in case the need ever arose. Who would have thunk it, the need arose today!
