Lunchtime for Calf SOLD(click here for aution results)

You would think the reference for this painting was from right here in the midwest, but it happens to be from a farm outside of San Marcos California. Last summer, Dave Darrow and I were searching for things to plein air paint, and we looked into some areas out by Elfin Forrest (or something like that). I have some great creek reference that I haven't dug into yet that I also shot that day. I might be in the mood for more landscapes after this one. It was a great shady creek.
