Followed by a Moonshadow
This painting transcends the pastoral scene, inviting you into a surreal nocturne where a dairy cow, her burgundy and white markings glowing under the moonlight, stands in a field unlike any other. The meadow, devoid of green grass, teems with anemone-like foliage swaying at ankle height, a sea of earthly tendrils. Little yellow flowers punctuate the landscape, like stars scattered across a galaxy of plant life. What holds her gaze? The canvas whispers secrets of New Mexico’s enchantment, echoing tales of UFO landings. Here, the artist you try to imagine the unseen: a close encounter hovering just out of view. Is it a craft, or celestial lights? The painting leaves the enigma suspended in the night air, as the cow becomes both witness and guardian of an uncharted mystery, her serene presence grounding the extraordinary in the everyday.
