My Creative Pursuits • With a background in sculpting, Narelle excels in capturing the typical poses and movements of her favourite subjects.

They are beautiful animals and I always try to capture in my paintings their calm curiosity and the rich and glowing colour of their bodies. This painting will be using three cows from two photos.
