Original artwork description:

I created this oil painting inspired by the beauty of the Scottish highlands, a place I have always loved. The image of the highland cow standing proudly in a green field is so emblematic of the area, and I wanted to capture that spirit of rural life in this painting.

The double rainbow in the background adds an element of fantasy to the piece, almost as if the viewer is seeing this cow in a mystical setting. I wanted the painting to feel playful and lighthearted, with bold colours and thick brushstrokes that give the cow a cartoon-like appearance.

Creating folk art has always been a passion of mine, as I love the freedom and creativity that it allows. There are no strict rules or conventions that need to be followed, only the artist's imagination and interpretation of the subject matter. This highland cow painting is a prime example of that, with its whimsical style and bright colours.

Whether displayed in a cosy farmhouse or a modern apartment, this cow print is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face. It is an original oil painting that was made with care and attention to detail, making it a one-of-a-kind piece of colourful art. If you're looking for unique wall art that embodies the spirit of folk art and the Scottish countryside, look no further than this highland cow painting. It measures 16 inches by 12 inches.
