Artist Description of Cow
Overlapping each other, on a kitchen table, in a big empty jelly jar, hydrangea blossoms are like a shot of happy to me. They remind me of childhood summertime fun. I love painting them, so I was very moo-ved when my cow, Moo Hydrangeas, was chosen for CowParade NC.

Artist Description of Cow
“Poppies will make them sleep!” goes the Wizard of Oz movie line, said with just the right witchy inflections. This rings in my ears whenever I see poppies, though I didn’t get much sleep once I began my cow.
Trying to capture their sheer delicate petals, engulfed in rich shades of velvet red, was not an easy task for me. The fun began once I moo-ved into the project and realized Poppy Cow was clearly “outstanding in her field.”
