"Taurus", 15"x18", original pastel
Found time to work on my pastels today and finished "Taurus", a portrait of one of the many beautiful Galloway Cows here where I live in Fearrington Village.
The cows are a sacred animal in India, and are a symbol of generosity, nurturing power, fertility and patience among other virtues. Watching them instantly makes me feel grounded and calm, they take their time, not rushing madly about like us humans. They take very good care of their young as well. I'm fortunate to be able to see them every day and get my "earth mother" fix. We have a lot to learn from the simple sweetness of cows.
I love all the colors in your black! A very calming contemplating face. Sweet.
