Dairy Queen - Oil & Soil

The light was hitting her as she stared at me, and I was able to capture the most amazing photograph of her. She came up to me and let me touch her, and then moseyed off to her little group. The soil in the painting is from the area where she was standing, and it's a strong possibility that the soil contains a healthy amount of cow shit. She was recently sold to a private collector in Richmond.
