Artwork Description

This Wagyu Bull spends his days watching his cows, fighting with other bulls and eating grass. My family are cattle breeders so I get plenty of inspiration from the farm. Bulls, in particular the Wagyu's, have such great shape, lines, contours. Obviously they are black and always dusty which sometimes makes it hard to make these features stand out. I like to introduce lighter shades and some blue tones to highlight their features. The Wagyu is placid in nature and they are a reliable bull which I believe is reflected in this painting.

Artist Bio

My name is Annabelle Brockman and I am an artist, small business owner/operator, mother of two and wife to a cattle farmer (where I help out from time to time!). I live and work in Perth, Western Australia, but spend a lot of time in the Mid West of the state.

I have always loved, and been inspired by, the stunning landscapes and coastline of Western Australia. So naturally my muse is in the realm of nature and the landscapes surrounding me. I love to weave vibrant and earthy colour with expressive brushstrokes to create captivating landscapes. I find endless joy in searching for unexpected colours, shapes and movement in every scene before me. I have a huge appreciation for our natural environment and my hope is that the viewer will feel this same sense of appreciation through my landscapes. I see so much more than a rocky gully or a dry field, there is colour, texture, movement, life and beauty everywhere you look.

My artwork has evolved recently with colour experimentation as the main focus. I would describe my style abstract expressionism if I had to put a name to it. I like to paint mainly in acrylics and oils and all of my work is completed on good quality cotton canvas, ready to hang. See it all on my insta @bellebrock
