Animal Place asked for a piece for their annual fundraising silent auction held in November. How could I resist.I included Animal Place's very popular Howie in all his golden glory and then there is Sadie....
Sadie is Animal Place's program coordinator Marji Beach's favorite. Based on her past treatment when she was strictly a dairy cow Sadie was very leery around people. Marji described a breakthough with her in the Animal Place blog HERE.

WOW sheila.
You ar egetting better and better.
MOO is my favorite animal.
This is MOOrvelous!
Sheila, what i love is the positive aura and charm that exudes from all of your work regardless of the subject matter.
This is great and I would know it was yours if I saw it anywhere without your name attached.
Awesome.
Hope your son is pursuing is passions for photography
Great job, Sheila!
cows are popular painting subjects..aren't they. You've done a nice job here
Great job Sheila!! You really have a knack with animals.... you paint them beautifully!
Great cows, Sheila...Sadie has a great face!
I am a fan of your brushwork.
Very well done Sheila! Very expressive brushstrokes which I like, im sure it will go down well)
I think Howie is so very beautiful, Sheila! I just don't think I can read Sadie's story (I get so very emotional), but I am so glad to know she has had a breakthrough! I love the rolling deep, verdant pasture behind Sadie and Howie. 'Course, as Howie was my dad's name, I just feel an affinity to that beautiful guy!
Like Gary said, you have a distinctive style that is charming and positive. I was just admiring Robin's plein air bovines and I come over here and see that you're in the MOO mode, too. COWabunga!!!
I like how the placement of the cows gives depth to the painting, and also shows the personalities you have described. I's sure the cows will raise money for such a good cause.
Oh gosh lovely Sheila, your heart shows in all your fantastic animal portraits! Love it.
Great curves and colors and cows, Sheila!
