After this great fun Croquis weekend I decided I am now a master at drawing. So I ventured out into the world to draw the neighbour´s jersey cows, because that would be easy peasy now that I am a master, right? Well not quite!
First of all: Who the hell invented cows? They make no sense! They have humps and bumps and bits poking out everywhere! Second: Did you ever try drawing with 5 cows in your lap? That’s…hard.
I was comfortably seated in the pasture at a safe distance around 30 meters from the herd. The sky was a bright blue. Around me was only grass, meadow flowers and butterflies. It was purely idyllic. But by the time I had found pencil and paper, I had cows everywhere around me so close they were licking my toes and hair and cheeks and paper and pencil. Friendly, very curious and huge, especially when seen from a seated on the ground perspective!
The adventure of drawing cows ended prematurely with a hail storm. I have no idea where it came from, but it had me fleeing trying to save my papers from getting soaked. I shall be back – this was so much fun!
