“Muddy Waters”
18″ x 14″ Oil Painting
By Kristy McNelly, artist
I was horseback riding on a ranch south of San Antonio a few years back and photographed this young cow standing in a small shallow muddy pond trying to cool off. I knew that someday I would paint it and today was the day! I kept the painting loose and impressionistic with lots of color.
