Photos of the day
Poppy Cow, NC Cowparade, 2012
This cow was in Chapel Hill. The first photo is from the web and the next two are mine.  
Because the Philadelphia Flower Show continues today, I am posting another cow with flowers.

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.”
