Spotted Longhorn

5x8 watercolor and ink (Pigma Micron 01 pen) on paper sketched yesterday and painted today from seeing these Texas icons grazing in nearby grassland.  This one with his black and white markings was exciting to do.  When dry I splattered the same mixed black of alizarin crimson + thalo green for tinier spots on his hide.
