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".

 The texas longhorn's crowning glory is shown off here in double, one front view and one side view, giving this composition an especially interesting dimension. I love the rich colors of the cows too. The painting is framed and just returned from a juried show in Breckenridge Texas. This is not the frame it's currently in, updated photo coming soon. 12 by 16 inches, oil on masonite (Ampersand gessoboard, professional painting panel.) Framed size, 18"x22" click here for purchase information. Tuesday, September 5

 Your favorite cow artist has bypassed the typical bovine cuteness in this dark composition titled, "Cows are Watching". It's a very noticeable piece where it hangs on my studio wall, almost startling! This original is sold, available as a print, for purchase information click here. |
