COW ART

My boss took me out for coffee last week because my hands were frozen and I needed something hot to hold onto.
We went to a local mall and as I walked through the doors I saw a wonderful art display that was calling my name.

On the wall was a huge brown cow.

I can actually smell this cows breath.....  Such wonderful detail!



 Can you feel her watching you ?




Would love to have this on my wall watching over me.

She has a calming affect.




To place a lion with a cow was a bit unusual. Its not March (comes in like a lion, goes out like a lamb)

Beautiful detail on the lion as well!



I hated to leave her behind.
 
 This is the incredible artist who makes fabulous kites.

  1. I'm waiting for her to stick out that sand-paper tongue and grab my coat sleeve as I walk by! :)

  2. The lion is my favourite - stunning detail, powerful colours, and it's like the lion is looking you straight in the eye! :-)

  5. Awesome kites! I checked out the artist's website and I thought they were all really well-done. I probably would buy the fox, since it's my favorite animal, but the cow one would be great to fly here in Wisconsin.
