Silver Saddle Ranch Plein Air Painting

This week we went Plein Air painting at Silver Saddle Ranch in Carson City. 

There were lots of great outbuildings, but I decided to challenge myself with drawing the cows in the pasture.  People and animals are out of my comfort zone.  I love to draw and paint buildings.  

Beautiful golden colors and it had rained the day before so the clouds in the sky were nice and the air fresh.  Pungent with sagebrush.  

Lots of cattle in the field and a nice stream running through.  I think they're happy cows.
