About this artwork

This framed painting is a vibrant and idyllic depiction of Holstein cows grazing peacefully on a lush Somerset hillside. The cows, with their characteristic black and white patches, stand out strikingly against the verdant greens of the rolling pasture. Their coats glisten in the sunlight, adding a sense of vitality and realism to the scene. The cows are scattered across the hillside, some munching on the fresh grass, while others lazily lie down, basking in the warmth of the sun. Behind the grazing cows, large, golden hay bales are neatly arranged, creating a harmonious contrast with the greens of the grass and the darker shades of the cows. The sky overhead is a clear, brilliant blue, with a few fluffy, white clouds drifting lazily across it, adding to the tranquil atmosphere. The horizon shows more rolling hills, fading into softer shades of blue and green, giving a sense of depth and expansiveness to the landscape. The overall composition of the painting captures the serene beauty of the Somerset countryside, with its vibrant colours, dynamic contrasts, and the peaceful coexistence of nature and agriculture. The camera does not do justice to this colourful painting.
