Red Calf At The Yellow Bucket
Fine Art Original Oil Painting
A moment on the small farm.
A calf reaches tentatively forward hoping for some ‘calf nut’ treats in the yellow bucket.
Although nicknamed the ‘red’ calf on the farm, ‘red’ really refers to a combination of vibrant hues. Maroon, mauve, burnt sienna, nudes, even crimson, represent a coat full of unique markings and texture.
The viewer’s eye is drawn across the body towards the calf’s copper coloured ears, fluffy forehead and rests on that inquisitive yet innocent looking eye.

Red Calf At The Yellow Bucket
I’m interested in the stance of these younger animals and how it differs to their older counterparts.
Slightly ‘knobbly’ knees still lack a certain strength and there’s a sense of trepidation in movements.
I also find it interesting how the calf’s body weight is dispersed in relation to the pose.
Calves can also be so energetic, however, this particular moment is a peaceful one.
A calf gaze that holds, I believe, a gentle sense of wonder represents this.
