Sam Patterson-Smith - River Crossing dustOriginal Artwork 17 x 17cm Acrylic and oil stick on canvas Framed in black stained timber Ready to hang About the Artwork: In this continuation of my explorations of cow stories from farmers, I look further at the strange antics of cattle. This one seemed to freeze mid way through crossing a stream, stood there for hours and took to eating the grass around the water, I wonder what goes through a cows head to decide that's the perfect place to stop?

Oil and Oil Gold on linen

This one I set up by choosing the pillowcases and tea towel rather than just painting what was randomly on the line that day and have now painted this scene twice

This little lady is purfectly happy in her own skin

and i can always find beauty in the patterns and textures in the trees in the places I explore
