New Mixed Media Art and Watercolor Paintings

Cow Art and More isTwo Muse excited to have expanded our collection by adding a new category of mixed media art along with including more watercolor paintings

Elizabeth St. Hilaire Nelson is our new mixed media artist.  Elizabeth's one of a kind collages are created from bits of torn paper adhered over an acrylic under-painting on wood panel.  They are finished with two coats of UV protective varnish and framed without glass in order to showcase the wonderful texture created from the many layers of thick and thin papers.

First Step
Painting animals has always been a passion for watercolor artist Victoria Whorley.  When she's not painting, she enjoys driving the countryside capturing pictures for future paintings.  In addition to exhibiting her work on Cow Art and More, Victoria travels to art shows in Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina.

What is the best sized painting for my room?

Insight from Cow Art and More oil painter, Linda Blondheim

This is a question most often asked too late; while you are out shopping at a gallery, an artist's studio or at an art event. This should be decided first, while you are considering an art purchase. If you have the correct size and format orientation before you shop, you will be less likely to make a significant mistake, saving yourself and the artist heartache and disappointment.
