Cows on old barnwood

9x14.5 acrylics on old wood done today as part of a WetCanvas challenge.  I spent awhile looking for a support to use other than paper.  Three cows are on the back of two pumpkins someone painted I picked up at a flea market for a couple bucks. It has two wooden strips nailed to hold together the sides, so I painted them as if they were part of the cow fence or pen. Black felt tip pen used to draw. Already the back had a smear of silver spray paint so I just left it, and it does help frame the back of main cow.  Look closely and you can see the third cow behind in the pen.
