Tartan Tangles, 8.5x5.5 Acrylic Painting, 11x14 matted, Abstract Highland Cow

“Tartan Tangles” is a celebration of glorious chaos—the kind that comes with windblown hair, storied landscapes, and a life well-lived. This expressive Highland cow stares straight out with soulful, unbothered eyes beneath a tangle of color and texture that feels like a wild Highland gale and a woven patch of tartan collided in the best possible way.

Painted in acrylic on heavy watercolor paper, this piece is rich with layered detail: soft blushes, moody purples, pale blue swirls, and bold, gestural whites. The palette is both earthy and unexpected, capturing a cow with character—and maybe a little attitude. It’s all horns, curls, and confidence.

This is a cow who knows who she is, and dares you not to smile back.
