Calf, AZ Centennial Art Project/5 C's
6"x6" oil
Hi everyone, This is part of the series of 100 paintings for the AZ Centennial art project about the 5 C's, cattle, copper, climate, citrus and cotton.
Cattle is one of the 5 C's of Arizona. In this painting I have depicted a young calf from Southern Arizona. Cattle were first brought to the Arizona area by the Spanish. Cattle drives crossed Arizona from Texas on their way to the markets in Los Angeles. Evently, cattle were raised in Arizona and bound for the LA market on trains.
