Margo Donoghue-Klewin - Early Morning Cow Creek (Valla)

Early Morning Cow Creek (Valla)
Oil and mixed media on Linen
110cm x 76cm
Ref. 55101

This painting captures the quiet beauty of an early morning near my farm at Valla. Cow Creek winds through this valley and reflects the soft light of dawn as the day begins. In the middle ground, two cows graze calmly, adding a sense of life, balance, and connection to the rural environment. Using a palette knife over a heavily textured linen canvas I focused on a limited range of oil colours and contrasting tones to capture the ambiance of the scene.
