It's a lovely pic.
I don't know how to answer your question, though. Years ago, my then hubby and I bought a pair of oil paintings by a Scottish artist. Not exactly old masters, but lovely, we thought - very evocative Highland scenery with cattle in a glen in the one picture and at the water's edge in the other. We moved around for a few years, so the paintings were wrapped and boxed for a while. No matter, we could clearly see them in our minds' eyes. Eventually we bought what we thought then would be a 'forever' home, so the pictures amongst other possessions were at last unboxed and, in the case of the pictures, rehung.
Ahhh, there were my watering cattle again. I particularly liked the one with the white blaze and the white patch on its side. Like most of them, she had magnificent curving Highland horns.
One day I decided to study the picture close up. My favourite cow was a single brush-stroke of the base colour.
To this day I do not know how that artist got me to see a white blaze and a white patch on the side, and two curving horns, on that single swish of paint...
