Artist's Note: Dotted Angus was originally called Dotted Swiss, because the polka dot pattern reminded me of the now-old-fashioned fabric, with tiny tufts of polka dots, called "dotted swiss." And they must have cows in Switzerland, right?

When I showed it at Graeser Winery, a rancher I know said to me, "That's an Angus." Ooops. So now it's "Dotted Angus."

Artist's comments:

This series began a number of years ago, when I was asked to put up a show of work at Graeser Winery with another artist who painted chickens. My landscape paintings weren't what was called for here, but cows seemed to fill the bill perfectly. 

I'd been photographing cows, along with landscape views, but instead of painting them, I wanted to create something humorous. At one point, I brainstormed over 100 punny cow titles and sayings, so I still have a lot of material to work with, to last me a long time....
