I remember seeing this painting in a magazine years ago - it was a stylized landscape, with some dark green hills that reminded me of a checkerboard and semi-abstract grazing animals - sheep or cows I think. Or, I'd be interested in any artist well known for doing stylized/geometricized landscapes. Thanks to anyone bored enough to help me search the internet. :rose:
 
I remember...semi-abstract grazing animals - sheep or cows I think.

What you describe sounds familiar but my recollection are rams or goats looking around, not grazing. Are you positive the creatures were grazing? My recollection is the beasts were looking around possibly communicating with each other in the way animals do.

Nevertheless, we are probably thinking of the same artist and his/her works are quite impressive. Someone MUST KNOW the artist!
 
Do a drawing of it - taking care to do it exactly the way you remember it and trying to keep it in proportion. Upload it and do a Google image search. If it doesn't work first off, try to mirror it and/or do some inventive cropping.
Good luck!

I meant grazing animals as in the general type of animal which grazes all day, not that that's specifically what they were doing. After doing more googling I'm thinking possibly it was a painting by Eyvind Earle, though Andy Russell also has some familiar-looking stylized landscapes, and I'm sure there are half a dozen other artists famous for them.
