Georgina Potter’s Resting captures a tranquil summer’s day in the field beside her home, where cattle recline across the grass under the shade of oaks. Painted with warmth and softness, the work reflects the old-world feel of this farmland, bordered by ancient trees. Potter often returns to this spot to paint the brown cows, among them a friendly older cow who helps guide the youngsters and frequently comes over with gentle curiosity. The result is a painting rooted in place and affection.
