A shaggy Highland cow gazes directly forward, its long curved horns sweeping upward and outward in dramatic arcs. Rendered in soft washes of cream, mauve, and burgundy with bold black accents, the portrait captures the animal's gentle expression and characteristic long fringe with a loose, painterly approach. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
