“Highland Grace” – Watercolour by Christina Newson
 
Bold yet endearing, “Highland Grace” captures the gentle strength and timeless charm of a Highland cow — a symbol of resilience, warmth, and quiet confidence. With flowing brushstrokes and earthy tones of ochre, sienna, and moss green, Christina Newson brings texture and life to the page, allowing the watercolour to echo the softness of the animal’s tousled coat.
There is a balance of power and peace within this composition: the grounded stance of the cow against the fluidity of the background creates a sense of calm presence. Each detail, from the tilt of the horns to the layered fur, is painted with sensitivity and soul.
An expressive tribute to one of nature’s most beloved creatures, “Highland Grace” is a piece that radiates warmth and personality — a true statement of natural beauty and artistic empathy.
