There are so many potential paintings from a setup like this. And the little cow is just great fun to paint. I like casual feeling still lives, both in items selected and the setup itself. For me, they just have a great feeling of warmth. I guess its the same reason I have always preferred hand cut, homegrown flowers in a jar to their more formally dressed and coiffed cousins from the flower shop. Relaxed still life as opposed to formal, in its own way makes me feel more relaxed ---maybe that's the attraction.
