Day Fourteen & Day Fifteen

The landscape on the right side is complete. It's a view of Blue Mound from somewhere near the intersections of Dodgeville or Ridgeway and my imagination.












Rosy has her bows now. They were painted on Saturday. From the center rope hangs 4 soy beans. Nearly finished -- only the varnishing is left to do.

Rosy had a visitor...

Rosy was honored with a visitor: Betsy Francouer, former Alice in Dairyland, stopped by Tuesday. Rosy was quite pleased to have her picture taken with Betsy!

Day Twelve & Day Thirteen

I worked on the landscape on the right side yesterday and today. Also, added details to the scroll work. Both days were cold but bright and sunny.
This side has a Karner Blue butterfly hovering above wild lupine thanks to Sue!

Day Twelve

Rosy mourns the loss of a fan, friend, mentor & boss. Farewell to JB. "The impossible takes only 15 minutes longer."


Today I painted in most of the flowers on the right side. Still have the roses and some details to do.

Day Eleven

I painted flowers today. Many flowers!

Day Ten

My cow is being sponsored by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. When it's finished it will go to some farm breakfasts in May, County Fairs during the summer, Madison in September and the World Dairy Expo in October.
Today I chalked in some outlines for the flowers on the left side. There's a Jack-in-the-Pulpit, strawberries, forget-me-nots, daisies, purple coneflowers, cranberries, trilium, sunflowers and roses among others.
