Pineywoods cow sketch | Limited edition fine art print from an original drawing.

Pineywoods Cattle are one of the oldest American breeds, descending from Spanish stock introduced in the 1500s. They are highly valued for their superior parasite resistance and ability to thrive in harsh, hot, and humid climates. The breed faced near extinction by the 1980s, emphasizing their historical fragility and the importance of conservation.
Watching this resilient creature, I felt a deep connection to the history etched into the American South. Capturing the strength in her profile required dozens of subtle lines, creating a testament to survival and endurance that I hope viewers can feel.
