Cows in the Really Cold

Cows act pretty much the same in 30 degree windy weather as they do in 80 degree still weather. It was sunset amd a smallish herd was clustered around one of the large sheds in a big field. They were sharing space with some free range chickens.

Two cows came over and stood about three feet from me. Others were loungingand  I got to observe cud chewing up close.

 Many of my drawings were starts only and all were done with icy fingers and very quickly.

I finished up by drawing two sheep. Then I did a quick knife sketch of the cow lounging on her elbow.
