Although I work in all mediums it must be five or six years since I last touched oils and I'm not quite sure why I chose them for this painting although I'm not sure anything else would have given me the feeling of power evoked by the subject. The bull himself is called Ulysses and is owned by my sister in law and her husband who run a beef farm in Caithness. Working from a photograph I took I decided to paint him against a plain blue background as I felt this complimented his brown colouring and there was no scenery to detract from him in any way
