Dairy Queen - Oil & Soil


 Dairy Queen - 30"x30" - mixed media (soil and oil) - 2020 (sold)

This old cow was up on the mountain in the Blue Ridge Foothills. It was a cold morning, and fog was coming off the base of the hills below. 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.

Dairy Queen - work in progress


 Background is finished (for the most part). I've begun layering in the dirt to the mountain and the big brown blob is where the cow is going to be. The area where the trees are closest, will have fog around it and a fence in front. 

What The Actual Hell...

I WAS AT THE VMFA NOT too long ago and the bottom 3 images were painted/sculpted by artists 100 or more years ago. The top 2 are works of ...
