from the artist:

Several things drew me to this scene.  One is the vantage point which gives a sense of looking up hill at this cow/calf pair, allowing their red hides to contrast against the blue sky.  Another thing is the pastoral peace it conveys.  
​I'll bet this cow has had many calves!  There's contentment and experience written all over her face. 
I was also pleased with the "painterly" feel that came out in it.  There's a loose softness to many of the brush strokes that, I think do a good job of describing the moment.
