Gus, a tiny miracle calf!

"Gus", a commissioned oil painting,Laying in my darkest-darks and  a little sky color- to keep my horizontal line straight! I am painting him in oils on a 16" x 20" stretched canvas.

Applying the many strokes with  a toned down white over the dark hues I added in the beginning for Gus

I decided to add a stick and not the few rocks I had at first.  He is coming to life for me!

Gus is finished except for a light glaze of blue applied later. He will dry and be shipped to his owner who has recently created a book about his miracle birth, as well as a traumatic accident a few weeks later. I think he is adorable!

Owner of Gus, Angela LeBlanc explains the miracle birth of Gus, and then the traumatic accident that his Veterinarians said would cripple him for life... read what God did for one of his little creatures!
