"Trick or Treat"image size 8"x10" - soft pastel plein aire This is the other plein aire painting I did at Wolfe's Neck Farm last Friday. I made a few adjustments because it wasn't quite finished. These young Black Baldy cows look like they have ghost masks on... which is how I came to choose the title.
Some facts about Black Baldy cows - Black Baldy cows aren't a breed. They are a hybrid, bred for one generation only for increased strength of their desired characteristics. Black Angus are the sire with Hereford heifers - sometimes this is reversed. They are excellent mothers, too!
