Hi Richard, always great to see a new video from you, another colorful creation, thank you 👍😊

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Hey thanks, much appreciated 🎨😊

[@constancearnold9367]

Richard you turned a mundane scene into a magical scene! Who else could infuse this scene with your signature emotions of beauty and optimism...cows! Gift! And, how many hats do you own? HA

[@constancearnold9367]

I don't know why my comment duplicated itself and appears twice?!

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Hey thanks Constance! I have many Akubra hats!!!

Many thanks Stefania!!

[@artbykcappadona5166]

Richard you’ve done it again. You have a very representational painting, yet free flowing and expressionist Beautiful sunny morning with cows surrounded by the morning mist. I just love it.

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

You are very welcome :-)

[@rtk3543]

Great work Richard, the highlights really brings those cows to life.

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Cheers mate thanks!

[@1Thedairy]

I love this! Its just stunning! It’s fascinating that close up it doesn’t look much but when you stand back it that’s all the detail you need. This tells me that standing back from your work is so essential and less is always more. Thank you for posting.

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Thank you so much LeBot! Glad you enjoyed!!!

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

Beautiful work with great freshness Richard, Been working with a palette knife more lately and enjoying it. Happy painting Mate🎨👍

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Hey happy knife painting Tez!!!

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

@@richardmusgrave-evans9886 Thx Richard, I switched coz just with a brush alone I can tend to overwork things sometimes. But with the palette knife I can apply it and just soften a touch n move on to the next stage of the painting.🎨👍

Nice one Richard. I would love to see more stuff like this.

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Cheers! More to come!

[@emilyadams6194]

I love the compositional buildup of the painting. I have a hard time letting go of the photo or the view I'm presented to improve the composition--which, I guess is common. You approach things with such enthusiasm and what APPEARS to be abandon. Its quite fun and inspiring. Look, Think, Plan and Jump in! AND with you, always great results.

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Thanks for the great feedback Emily!!!

[@helenrivers7345]

Oh my goodness. I can see them breathing! Watching you paint is so very entertaining. I love seeing the world through your eyes. Thank you Richard. Wow

Thank you Richard. Really enjoyed that one. There's a field of cows near my house here in Washington,I have always wanted to paint them.Now I think I will, I'm ready.

Sounds great patty! Happy Painting :-)

[@CosMosArtistry2016]

Wow mate, from nothing to a visual feast of tone and and light. How important is that draughtsmanship? It certainly defines the beasts and separates them from the background. Once again much to learn here. Boldness, confidence, refining and defining. It's all there. Look forward to more my friend. Love your work/passion. Cheers, Rich

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Thanks Rich! Cheers for the positive feedback my friend :-)

You like the outdoors, and I like to watch you paint outdoors. The farm is fun, and there should be cows on the farm. I like the cows on the Australian farm!

His doing more abstract than before. I like the other paintings he used to do better.

[@jodiegaulart1134]

Richard, this is amazing. It transports me back to my grandparents farm as a child 🤗 How long before it dries for sale and do you varnish it?

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Hey thanks Jodie, that's great that it brings back memories! A few weeks and it will be dry enough to transport!!!

[@nrgisameer1473]

Excellent, this is so beautiful, u r a master, it's very difficult 4 me 2 paint moving stuff, any advise 4 me !!, where on earth is this majical place !, those cows r yours, lucky u u can drink milk and eat cheese every day, and paint every minute...

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Thanks Nrgis Ameer! This is South Australia :-)

[@artistpatriciavandennieuwe6057]

Your cows are really pretty. Are they on your property? When did you produce your reference pictures and video? Frosty must be Kate autumn or early spring, as surely you have not yet had frost, right?

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Thanks Patricia! No there not my cows. I'm always collecting footage etc. and some was from the day before I did the video and some earlier on!!!

[@christiancarbognani]

I would like to know if she only uses oil, or other types of colors in her KZbin videos as well? thank you

When I saw the animals at the beginning of the video, I immediately knew that you were up to something different: painting of animals. I enjoy your artistic work. Shout out from Los Angeles.

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Yes thanks! Thought I would do something a little different this time!!! Cheers :-)

[@sonsoftheedelweiss72]

I find I am horrible at drawing initial images but when I use your technique no one would know it.

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

That's great!

[@lkings777]

Hello Richard! Love your videos! Not to be rude, but have you ever thought about doing some ASMR videos and not talking? The scratching noises are very relaxing for s lot of people. They help people relax and go to sleep. Thanks!!

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

I have thought of it , but haven't do so as yet! Good Idea!!!
