 How milking her brother's herd inspired one women to paint portraits of cows.
Artistic inspiration can come from surprising places and for Sue Moffitt, a painter from Northumberland, it leapt out at her from her brother’s milking parlour while she was working with his award winning dairy herd. She started painting life size images of the cows she was milking twice a day and then started focussing on large canvases featuring mainly the heads and shoulders of cattle. That was ten years ago; now Sue is an internationally acclaimed animal portrait artist with a thriving rural gallery, and her work is about to go on sale in the States. Caz Graham has been to Hexham to meet Sue and some of her very friendly cattle.
