The Farm

1980

This is a painting of a group of cows in a field. The painting shows multiple cows with white and dark patches, facing the viewer. Each cow has a numbered tag on its ear, with numbers like 75, 91, and 86. In the background, there is another cow walking near some trees. The painting is in the style of realism with contemporary touches, capturing the texture of the cows' fur and the grassy field with attention to detail. The color palette is earthy and muted, creating a calm and serene mood.
