Leotine calls out a song in a strong, welcoming tone, his vocalizations not words but the meaning of them heard all the same: ‘Come greet me.’

His shaggy bovine friend obliges, the highland cow’s bell jangling as it leaves behind its grassy meal to come jogging towards him. The old herding call is the perfect way to communicate with the big friendly beast, who comes butting her head into his stomach for pets.

“Ooph,” Leotine huffs, the breath knocked out of him along with a wheezy laugh. “Lovely day to you too!” He obliges her though, rubbing her cheeks with strong painters’ hands. He takes the time to smooth back the fur that covers her eyes, meeting her big soft long-lashed gaze with his own fond look.

“Ready to go find somewhere new to paint?,” he asks rhetorically, and she answers with a low bellow.

“I’ll take that as a yes,” he says with a grin, giving her head fur an affectionate ruffle before starting to walk. She faithfully joins him, occasionally bumping her head or shoulder against him for attention, and he gives it in the form of more pats and idle observations for one-sided conversation.

Leotine’s explored much of the surrounding farmland and forests around his home, but there’s always a new perspective waiting to be found or a picture that ought to be painted at a certain time of day.

Today, he finds himself setting up in a glade not too far into a wooded area. His friend is drawn over to a length of clover, but what’s struck his interest is the rock formation with moss and dainty flowers growing atop it. Setting up his easel, he’s struck by the dichotomy between the shaggy copper-colored cow’s warm tones and the colder shades of the scenery. With inspiration before him, he begins to paint.
