I have just completed my latest, and largest (20 inches x 20 inches), commission which I named ‘Bovine Intervention‘. My customer’s choice of subject matter was inspired by the work of the Irish painter, Eoin O’Connor. He has painted several close-ups of cows which create a very unusual, yet interesting, perspectives that enlarge the nose and head of the cow and miniaturise the cow’s body into the background. These cows are conveyed through cartoon-like forms and vibrant colours resulting in very striking pieces of art.

I incorporated O’Connor’s use of vivid colours but opted for a more realistic and accurate portrayal of the cow over his more animated approach. Below is the official description of my painting:

A commissioned oil painting of a curious cow getting up close and personal with the viewer. This close up point of view allowed me to capture a high level of detail on the cow’s nose and face.
