Two Cows and Three Calves Texas Sunset Oil Painting by Bertram Poole

The two cows enjoy the last rays of the sun while the calves rally around as they anticipate the end of the day.

Five Texas Cows At Sunset oil painting by Bertram Poole

Five Texas Cows at Sunset is a celebration of sunset colors as the last orange rays of the setting sun strike the trees creating statement in orange and yellow with dark blue ultramarine shadows as the cows graze lazily enjoying the late afternoon light. I am including a free substantial wooden frame, which I hand made, to compliment this painting. It can be seen in my Etsy shop.

Cows in a Texas Field at Sunset - oil painting by Bertram Poole

Sunset in rural Texas!

The cows running anxiously after their calves as the sun sets casting deep shadows in the tree line beyond, while the large tree captures the oranges and yellows of the setting sun which also illuminates the fresh spring grass with a rich yellow green.

I was driving on a country road between Dallas and Austin, near College Station when I came across this scene.

I could not resist enjoying the special moment.

Texas Cows Grazing in Tree Lined Meadow oil painting by Bertram Poole

As the Cows graze peacefully in the tree - lined meadow south of Dallas, Texas, all that identifies them are their silhouettes in the tall summer grass.
