Denise Rich, THE EARLY YEARS
The artist as a young girl, exploring her artistic future, was temporarily sidetracked with delusions of being a dancer. It did not take long to discover that her talents were in a different artistic arena, and that she was better suited to fine arts both due to ability and the desire to remain sedentary.

Here comes trouble, times two. A couple of cautious calves, curiosity getting the better of them as they watch. This painting has rich color and a very painterly style.
I think this painting looks great in a dark wood frame as shown here, it really accentuates the high contrasts.
My daughter and I often talk about our dream house. It as she described to me again this morning it is " on a big hill with a view, and a big flat area below that we would fence in for the cows and one small area for a pig." She added the pig to the scene this morning. It will be a pet, I'm told. I like it, but my husband might not be impressed when all of the animals are pets, and none of them will end up on a bun with bbq sauce! (roll).
Herefords are on a roll, this means I've been painting a few of them,
number two today is titled "It's good to be Queen!". This is
Her Royal Highness, Queen of the Pasture if ever I saw it, just look at
that regal head carriage, that crown of horns held high, the slight

This painting is sold, available as canvas giclee/fine art print here.
This very cute Hereford Heifer
that I had a photo session with is turning up in a number of
paintings/future paintings. Here is one of them, number two in her personal gallery. The title of this painting

girl all pretty and petite" it continues. OK, by
most standards she's not petite, but if you had seen her mother...
