Were those cows?

That feeling of missing the mundane because you’re driving too fast. These blobs should look kind of like cows, but maybe a bison?

This expressive landscape by Cherokee artist Alixandrea Robinson captures a fleeting moment often missed in everyday life. Painted with loose, energetic brushstrokes, the scene evokes the feeling of looking out a car window as the world rushes by. Tall grasses sway in the foreground while indistinct shapes rest on the horizon, appearing as cows, bison, or simply passing impressions caught in motion.

Rather than focusing on precise details, Robinson invites viewers to reflect on the beauty of ordinary moments that can slip by unnoticed when life moves too quickly. The painting's vibrant greens and expansive blue sky create a sense of openness, memory, and quiet nostalgia.
