I paint cows because I think they’re lovely and being around them makes me happy. I hope these cow paintings make you happy, too! Shop with confidence, and let me know if you have any questions. – paintings of the cows of South Dakota, Nebraska, and Washington state.

I have always loved the feeling of being around cows, but now that we live in South Dakota, on the edge of a college town, I see them every day. Our neighbors a few houses down have cows, and until this year when the development of the town has pushed the cows off the field I see from my studio, I could paint cows just looking out my studio window. Now I need to go a couple miles down the road to find a lovely herd, but they’re still close enough to feel like neighbors.

I love how cows relate to each other out on the prairie. There is a sweetness to them that anyone who has spent time with cows remembers fondly. They have a beautiful grace. As you can see, I love painting cows.

See bird paintings, horse paintings, landscape paintings, and paintings of people. Would you like to learn oil painting with me? Check out my online oil painting classes, and join my newsletter for new class announcements.

Here you’ll find paintings of black, red, white, and spotted cows – some are dairy cows, and some are beef cows. Some are on dirt, but most are out on the grassland either spreading out or grouped together. I love the way cows can form patterns out on the grasses, and enjoying the abstract quality of them.

This large cow farm painting has a lovely atmosphere. It depicts a South Dakota farm with cows enjoying a chilly morning.

Two of the paintings shown above (paintings of the cows on Nebraska); There are two paintings in this series. One is now in a public collection, and the other is available through a great gallery in Minneapolis, MN.
