While in Newport  recently I had an opportunity to drive around taking reference photos.  This one of the Oreo cow is one of my favorites.  They are actually called Belted Galloways but I think they look like Oreos.  Dorothy and I painted them last week in class.  You can read more about them here.

Olivia helped G-Pa with his painting because she is such a pro.  Can you think of anything cuter than this photo!  Good job Olivia and you too, G-Pa!
