About the Item

"Burning Mountain Cows" is an original oil painting on board by Heather Foster. The artist signed and dated the piece "HF 02" lower right. This painting depicts two cows in the foreground and more small cows in the background. 30" x 36" art 35 5/8" x 39 3/4" frame Painter, Heather Foster, has captured specific moments in her various series including landscapes, cityscapes, chess players and now, cattle. This current series, which she has been working with for several years, Foster depicts the relationships of the animals to one another and their surroundings, as well as to the viewer, in an amusing and charming way. She lures the audience into her world initially with the clever composition and then shows the viewer the painting's multifaceted levels. She does this by enabling the viewer to see the process that has brought her art to what the eye presently sees. The layers, a visible adding and scraping away, allow the process to become the composition. Heather Foster received her BFA in General Fine Arts in May of 1990, from the Maryland Institute, College of Art, in Baltimore, Maryland. While there, she was the recipient of various merit scholarships. Her work has been exhibited in Washington D.C., Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Florida, Wisconsin, Colorado, New York and is currently available in Basalt, Colorado; Brooklyn, New York; and the David Barnett Gallery, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

  • 'Earl' Signed by Cathryn Ruvalcaba realist animal portrait high realism oil
    By Cathryn Ruvalcaba
    Located in Milwaukee, WI
    Wisconsin artist Cathryn Ruvalcaba creates images of classic midwestern farm scenes by zooming in on the animals that populate these fields. Her use of oil paint on gesso board offers a realist lens of these subjects. While her style nears photo realism, there is an added level of playfulness that sets her work apart. The bright, almost neon brush strokes that accent the scene bring out the life that exists within what a Wisconsin native would otherwise see as mundane. She personifies the animals she creates, making her subjects seem almost fantastical. Yet the familiarity of the species she paints roots these animals in reality. For example, she has endowed the sheep in this painting with the name "Earl". The eye contact...
