Cows are such fascinating, beautiful animals.  I particularly like their variety of shape and color and… that look they have in their eyes.  Fun to paint!

I loved painting this cow!   It was such a gorgeous site early in the morning out in the pasture in Blue Ridge, GA.  I had the pleasure of painting in Blue Ridge, Georgia's Plein Air Paint Out in the Fall of 2012.  It is a fun filled event...relaxed, no pressure... just painting with a great group of painters.  I met some wonderful folks:  Durinda Cheek, Marsha Savage, Lynn Asselta, Carolyn Molder, Candy Crawford, and Barbara Byant, to name a few.  Painting this cow reminded me of the wonderful time I had there in the mountains.  I didn't get to paint in this year's event as I was in Cape Cod, but I hope to get to Blue Ridge, Georgia again sometime to enjoy the beauty of the mountains,  and enjoy the great painter company!

"King of the Roost" SOLD

"King of the Roost" by J Joy Nocifora ©2011 - • Sold

10x10" oil on 1.5" gallery wrap canvas

It is about time that I painted a rooster. I say that because I have always had a fascination for them. Their fanciful plumes in an endless array of color combinations are really quite beautiful. Perhaps most interesting to me is their feisty personality. When I think about it, I have known some people who have some of this same feistiness. I suppose they get their names like "King of the Roost" honestly. I enjoyed the free flowing, bold brush strokes of the feathers in this painting.
