Large Captivating Highland Cow Portrait by Elaine Johnson

Behold a masterful oil painting by the acclaimed artist Elaine Johnson, featuring the iconic Highland Cow.

With her expert brushstrokes and keen artistic sensibility, Johnson has brought the essence of this majestic creature to life on canvas. The Highland Cow stands as a symbol of rugged beauty and untamed nature, and in this exquisite artwork, those qualities are brilliantly captured. The rich texture of its long, flowing coat is rendered with meticulous detail, inviting viewers to imagine the sensation of running their fingers through its coarse strands. Through a harmonious blend of deep and velvety tones, Johnson's portrayal of the Highland Cow radiates a sense of tranquillity and connection to the natural world.

Elaine is a distinguished artist and designer, hailing from Glasgow and graduate with honours from the Glasgow School of Art and a BA degree from the Royal Academy of Art and Drama.

After receiving various notable accolades for her remarkable achievements and presented by HM The Queen and Sir Tony Blair, Elaine made a deliberate move to Sorn, Ayrshire. In this Scottish tranquil village, Elaine was able to focus on oil paintings and catered for private and public clients.
