hello marmaduke

This made me laugh, in a nice way of course. I love the expression on his/her face.

Thanks Val he makes me laugh too,it's exactly the reaction I wanted from people looking at the painting.

Love the expression on the cow's face, Clare, and the beautiful colours (although would prefer it and think it would make a stronger design without the house).

An unusual format - the cow could even carry the work by herself!<br />Brilliant expression - made me laugh too - so thank you!

You&#39;ve put such character in your animals Clare, I feel as if I want to get to know them, great stuff.

Such a characherful painting Clare! I love it! I agree with Jenny actually, I dont think you need the house ..The cow in itself is a beautiful strong image just in itself.

Thank you all for these great comments.I totally agree that the cow might be better on its own . It was part of a set of paintings I was doing based on farm houses in the area and I thought I&#39;d add more interest by adding the animals.It&#39;s strange how things work out sometimes ,but the works have inspired me to paint more animals.I actually love them all because I try and give them quirky characters and I am so glad they make people laugh.Thanks again everyone.

love it .. made me smile
