Mehdi Fallahian, plein air painter from Palm Springs

Every August 6th I try to paint a memorial on the anniversary of the bomb dropping on

Hiroshima, and title it the same, "That Sheep May Safely Graze"

Medhi happened to call me to see if I wanted to join him as he was visiting his doctor son and doctor daughter in law in Waterbury Center!  No way...last time I saw him we painted together in Palm Springs probably 8 years ago!  He spotted some work of mine in Artisans Gallery in town here.  We also painted with Terry Masters in Palm Springs, who now runs the Desert Painter Gallery there as well as teaches Plein Air workshops.

Von Trapp Cow Study ~ go to 3.18.10

5 x 7 inches Oil on canvas board

(go to 3.19.10 for continued version)

This is a fifteen minute study I decided to do while I was driving past. I thought I should come back some day this time in the late afternoon to paint these wonderful cows, and something made me stop right then. I had an extra 20 minutes I figured to paint something about a cow. But I must tell you, they are moving right along the slope eating their way from one end to the other. So the direction it started was not what the pose remained! So to do a longer pose wouldn't actually be so easy. Then I realized a bunch were lying down. I'll have to go for one of those next time. It's fun to talk to them while you're painting. They are good listeners and frequently look up.
