One of our neighbors is a dairy farmer–close enough that we can hear him calling his cows early in the morning. He and his son manage the herd mostly by themselves and they work so hard–milking twice a day, bringing in the cows, planting and haying in the summer as well as haying for other people. The farm has been in the family forever and this farmhouse was built by one of his ancestors. Right now the painting is hanging in the bank at Coburn’s general store in So. Strafford.

With just a few little dabs of paint you really captured the essence of cow-ness, bony hipbones, placidity, and all. Amazing.
