More Belted Galloways from Aldermere Farm in Rockport, Maine. I remember when I first started visiting the farm, Mr. A.H. Chatfield, Jr. took me on  a tour.  He was a nice old man, who really knew his stuff. When I told him that I wanted to start doing some paintings of his herd he said, "Certainly. We'd be glad to have you.  Just one thing...be sure to get the faces of the animals.  I can't tell you how many photographers never do.  Catch them in the sunlight and you should do quite well."  On my return to the farm, I showed him a 24"'x48" oil I had done. "Now those are some fine looking animals!" he said. It was an honor and a privilege to have his guidance and approval.
