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".

There are some beautiful Texas Longhorns not too far from me, I had the opportunity to photograph them, just in time for a commission request for a Longhorn Portrait.
Here she is, with her crown of glory.  16 by 20, oil on canvas. This painting is sold. Available in print here. If you are interested in commissioning a painting from my huge supply of reference photos of a Texas Longhorn or other cattle breed, contact me directly at 619-933-5935. |
