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".

I just love the way a cow's face is made, this original cow oil painting shows these fine features from the side view.

These are the same two calves that were depicted in a previous painting titled "Double Trouble". Something became very interesting to their right.
This painting features some very rich, glowing colors in the shadows. You will want to put a light on it for the full effect. ![]() Calves by the Barn 11"x14" oil on portrait smooth canvas This painting is available. |
