The dance of the cows in Spring by Erik van Elven


This is one of the great works of Erik van Elven. I was taking a look at his blog and felt like sharing some of his sketches. "Jump" is the first one:
"In Dutch, the translation for "Jump" is "Spring", the same as the season. For me, spring has not begun until the cows are back in the meadows, after they've stayed indoors all winter long.
The sheer joy, like little kids in a playground, of these massive animals is very inspirational and you can't help but smile when you witness the cows do their dance..."
Erik van Elven
I remember the first time I, a city-person, saw a cow. I stared into her eyes and... no words to describe that feeling.
