Day Nine

More scrolls today--on both sides and finished the detailing on the tail.

Day Eight

Painted some scrolls on the body today.
So far, I have 35 hours into the project.
You can see the creeper I use sometimes--it comes in handy. JB loaned it to me. Thanks John!

Day Seven

Day Six

Rosy's face gets rosemaled.

Day Five

Blue Mound and Brigham on the left side of Rosy.

Day Four

Thought this would be a great place for a rosemaled sunset.

Day Three

January 2nd I started to rosemal. The horns were first. They took about 3 hours.

Day Two

I painted her all black, except the belly--the landscape goes there. Had to paint the eye in so she could watch the transformation.

This is just black gesso. After the gesso I applied a coat of black paint.

CowParade rosemaled cow

Fetched my cow from the barn at the Expo center during a snow storm in December, 2005. It's life-size and made of fiberglass.
First thing I did was paint it black.
Did I mention it is too big to fit into my studio?
I'm painting it in the lobby of the Park Printing House.
