The shape of the cows is exaggerated, but not by much - many breeds of cow are just incredibly rectangular in profile.

One of the first things you learn about farming cows is that meat cows are rectangular, and dairy cows are triangular.

Some of the paintings are quite exaggerated though, probably for the purpose of bragging rights by the patron.
