The rains in San Diego had been so heavy that there was a natural pond the gals were wading in, lucky for me it was close to the road!

Best known for her bovine renditions, with unique compositions and contemporary views, Denise has combined her love of animals and art in oil for the past 20 years.
Denise's focus for the past several years has been cows because "Cows make me smile. I seriously can't look at one and hold back a smile. I don't just see an animal, I see a personality, and that is what I am working to present in my paintings of cows." In 2006 Denise received a commission from the California Milk Advisory Board to paint their famous Happy Cows of the Real California Milk campaign. This led to becoming "The Official Happy Cow Artist", as seen on their website.
Her creative process begins with field work, taking reference photos. Cows being a favorite subject means "field work" can be taken literally, and involves careful stepping!
With a signature "painterly realism" style Denise breathes life
into her subjects, often bringing viewer comments of how "you could just reach out and touch them" and "I expect them to mooo".

New Cow painting, Black Baldie, by Denise Rich
On my travels through Ramona
in San Diego areas outback, I happened upon a herd of what looked
like large Panda Cows. These are Black Baldies which if you are
not familiar with them are a Hereford/Angus cross, and are the most
popular Hereford cross I am told. Those of you who are really
experts, please feel free to leave a comment.
