Artist Comments
A man and a cow share a quiet ride across a vibrant, sunlit landscape. The driver focuses on the road ahead while the animal stands calmly, gazing over the golden fields. Soft pastel clouds fill the sky, contrasting the warm, earthy tones below. Oranges, reds, and yellows create a nostalgic and rustic atmosphere. Artist Keith Thomson uses oil paint and ink to create the piece.

About the Artist
Alabama-based artist Keith Thomson creates quick-witted, mixed-media artwork that blends realism and surrealism. His background as a political cartoonist in the 90’s is reflected in the sharp storytelling his artwork achieves. He combines stylized realism and everyday subject matter with surreal details and ironic twists. He begins his work as digital sketches using an animation software, then he transfers the sketch onto the canvas and begins applying oil paint. In addition to painting, he is a writer, of mostly spy novels and nonfiction articles. His writing prowess shines through in his witty descriptions of his pieces.
