Cow and Calf Moose - Greeting Card

$10.00
This painting was inspired by a recent sighting of a cow and her very young calf in my backyard. Seeing them together was quiet and grounding, the kind of moment that stays with you without needing explanation.
I approached the blank canvas intending to paint with brushes, but partway in, that plan no longer felt right. I set the brushes aside, picked up a knife, and let the process unfold naturally. The change in tools shifted the energy of the piece, allowing stronger movement, texture, and instinct to guide the work.
This painting reflects both the tenderness and strength present in that encounter. It is less about precise detail and more about feeling. Trusting the process became part of the story, just as much as the cow and calf themselves.
